Highlights from the 2013 Colorado State Track and Field Championships
Mancos ran a 45.80 4x100 to qualify for last year's state meet. That was well ahead of the minimum mark of 47.22 required to get to state in that event. Colorado Track XC file photo.
Nicole Montgomery and Megan Irvine made it to state last spring with 400 meter seed times of 56.58 and 57.35. Both were freshmen and figure to be back to state a few more times. Colorado Track XC file photo.
Lamar's Ashley Snyder found her way to state with qualifying marks of 12.89 (100) and 26.41 (200) last spring. She figures to be back at state again this year. Colorado Track XC file photo.
Want to send a 4x200 to state? Figure it's likely to take a 1:30 to get there. Want to make it to finals? That takes more like a 1:28. Colorado Track XC file photo.
Walsh's Terrell Stafford helped the Eagles to a classification-best 3:37.91 seed time in the 4x400, but any time at 3:48.83 or better got you into the 1A state meet. Colorado Track XC file photo.
Eaton's 4x100 qualified for state with a 43.95 last spring, one of four 3A teams to qualify with a sub-44. Colorado Track XC file photo.
Kim's Tai Ann Nittler was one of six 1A girls to qualify for state in the 1600 with times below 6:00. As many of four of those six could be returning this year. Colorado Track XC file photo.
Zainab Sanni qualified for state last spring in the 100 with an 11.90 and a 200 with a 24.42, well ahead of most other entries in both events. Colorado Track XC file photo.
