Span 117 Years Of Colorado State Track & Field Championships

Jul 17, 2019

Did you know that in 1902 East Denver High claimed the state track and field team title? They went on to win the next five state championships before Longmont won the next two, and then Boulder the next two.

And wow that Fort Collins squad from the (19)20s... 15 consecutive titles from 1920 to 1934. Talk about roaring through the 20s...

A special shoutout goes to Kirby Henderson, who compiled this massive list of the top three team finishers at the track and field state meet dating all the day back to 1902.

If you're interested in the history of the sport, this is a great place to start.
