You look one way and something big happens behind you. You look behind you and something big happens in front of you. You twirl in circles and get dizzy trying to see everything at the same time.
Every week the bar gets raised, literally.
There's plenty to talk about this week...
Let's get into it, here are the highlights of the highlights.
Jeffco Stadium was busy this past week.
Casia Provencal was the highlight of the Jeffco Qualifier #1 Wednesday. The Ralston Valley opened her 2022 outdoor season with a Colorado No. 1 of 12.14 to win the 100.
A day later at the Jeffco Qualifier #2 Chatfield's Amelia Hubbell swept the hurdles, running a 15.24 personal best in the 110H, and 45.64 in the 300H.
