Ares Reading (center) and Cruz Culpepper kicked late to finish 1-2 Saturday.

The Niwot girls will have a battle with Battle Mountain on their hands Saturday morning. 

Thompson Valley's Schubert and Krueger made it a sweep of the individual titles.

Niwot's Ares Reading is the second-fastest runner in the state this year.

Baylie Koonce's 18:06 was the fifth fastest time of the weekend.

What better time to start looking at the sport's landscape?

The Spartans, they run in a pack. And a lot of raw meat got chewed up along the way, with carcasses spit out the back.

Isalina Colsman ran a state-leading 18:36 this past weekend. 

Cruz Culpepper (center) returns as one of the top juniors this year.

With Tyrese VanHorne and Luc Andrada returning, the sprints are already shaping up to be explosive next year.

When Harrison Scudamore went by Awet Beraki, the battle for first was done.

The eventual all-state presence was strong at 1000 meters into the 4A Boys race.

If Niwot is going to win this thing, the pack is how it's going to get done.

The teams won't all be the same as the last time there was a meet at Polson Ranch, but all the start line intensity will be back.

I don't have any results from the meet to share with you, but I do know Center honored the memory of former Antonito coach Tommy Archuleta at Center's home meet on Friday, even renaming the meet in Archuleta's honor.

Drew Seidel raised some eyebrows last week at the Cheyenne Mountain Stampede. What will Seidel bring this week?
