Colorado 2024 State Championship Meet Preview


3A Boys

The 3A boys will take off at 11:00 a.m.


It looks like we may have a battle on our hands here.

Jackson Fagerlin currently leads the 3A rankings with his time of 15:33.9 from Liberty Bell. Meanwhile, Towler Scott recently clocked 15:36.5 at Pantherfest. 

Fagerlin, a Resurrection Christian senior, won the 3A Region 4 Championship, while Scott, a Basalt junior, took the 3A Region 1 title. 

We can't count out Grant Fleenor, though, of The Classical Academy. The junior has shown consistency throughout the season, highlighted by his PR at Liberty Bell of 15:50.10.

This could be anyone's race.

Matthew Hayden (Frontier Academy) and Joel Davis (Lamar) will also compete for top positions.


3A Girls

The 3A girls will take off at 9:40 a.m.


Delaney Reuter has made quite the name for herself this season.

Six wins, one runner-up finish, all sub-18 minutes.

The Eaton sophomore has improved immensely from last season, where she hadn't yet broke 18 minutes and finished sixth in the 3A State Championship.

Reuter clocked a milestone PR of 17:15.0 earlier this season John Martin Invitational, winning the meet.

Most recently, she demolished the 3A Region 4 Championship by almost three minutes, finishing at 17:25.49.

By the looks of it, Reuter is favored to take the state title this year.

The fight for second will be close. 3A Region 2 Champion, Elizabeth McQuitty (Alamosa), will look to be in the front pack, along with Madelyn Stice (Gunnison), Vivian Jack (Classical Academy), and Effie Fletcher (Coal Ridge).
