Fire On The Track At Liberty Bell


While Minor owned the sprints, the remaining events were battles that got the blood pumping. 

Four went under 60 seconds in the 400 with Randi Higashi taking a close win. The Rock Canyon senior ran 58.74 to beat Alexa Gonzalez's 58.84 by a tenth of a second. 

The 800 was a Harding affair, with sisters Lizzy Harding and Naomi Harding going 1-2 over Bryce Johansen. Lizzy took the W in 2:15, while Naomi was second in 2:18, and Johansen third in 2:20. 

The 1,600 was a much closer battle, with Claire Rusovick and Elliot Pribramsky bringing this one down the line. Rusovick used a mid-race surge to distance herself from the pack, and she was able to hold off a late charge from Pribramsky. Both girls were clocked at 5:10, with Rusovick claiming the W at 5:10.27 to Pribramky's 5:10.99. 

As mentioned on the previous page, Durango came for business.

Durango's Madeleine Burns dropped a staggering, state-leading, 10:50 in the 3,200 Friday night. Behind her Grace Johnson ran 11:06 to finish second, that's No. 7 in Colorado. 

In the 100 Hurdles three dipped under 15 seconds. Zeaniah Wedgeworth downed a solid field that included Maya Provencal - who finished second in the 100 and 200 to Minor, and Zion Smith. Wedgeworth won the event in 14.73 for the No. 4 time in Colorado. Provencal was second for the third time of the weekend in 14.93, just milliseconds ahead of Smith's 14.93.

Put the state on alert - Claira Gilchrist is the real deal!


The Loveland senior dropped over a second from her 300H PR to win the event by three seconds in a 5A state-leading 44.21. That's No. 2 in all-classifications, and a four-second improvement from 2018.

In the high jump six went over five feet, and only one went over 5-4, and that was Riley Endries. The Poudre junior cleared 5-4 for a two-inch victory. 

Shantine DeMasse was the name in the horizontal jumps. The Highlands Ranch senior  senior went 17-7.75 FTW in the long jump, and 36-9.5 in the triple jump. Mullen freshman Agur Dwol was a close runner-up with a 36-0.25 jump.

In the pole vault there wasn't anyone who could go - the height - with Lauren Jarossy. The Legend senior claimed the win by a foot with a 10-10 vault.

Kajsa Borrman maintained her place on top of the thrown in the discus. The Loveland freshman went 144-4 for a 12-foot victory, while Kyla Bush claimed the shot by two feet with a toss of 42-1.5, that's No. 2 in the state.
