Colorado XC Thread 2024

Niwot 5k opener.
Niwot boys sweeps the top 9 spots and all of them were close to each other.

Niwot girls still missing Beltran. As a result, they appear 4-deep. Addy Ritzenhein won by a lot in 17:39. Her brother won the middle school race

Was this on the St Vrain course? If so times are even more impressive.

According to the NXN boys thread, yes it was on the St Vrain course

Top 7 Niwot boys here were the same ones that raced at NXN last year. Seniors Engtrakul and Kear are not far behind.

Engtrakul was a full time varsity runner (even a scorer) sophomore year. Kear raced at state and the NXR championship race last year

Looks like entire JV 7 was in before Longmont or Eries #3 Varsity.
those are good programs.
given Niwots track (sorry about pun) record for finishing strong this bodes very well for their post season success.

Looks like vista girls are running their varsity squad

Cherry Creek Invitational

The Cherry Creek Invitational is on Saturday September 7, 2024.

Coronado boys and Vista girls look solid.

FWIW, this is a historically short course.

It was short last year for whatever reason, but was the correct length this year and the years beforehand if I remember correctly

It was short last year because of a few missed corners and a different finish line placement.

Today’s course was corrected to previous years, and when comparing runners who competed at pre-state and arapahoe, this appeared to be a true (albeit fast) 5k.

Decent showing. Will be an interesting battle between them in Coronado for sure.

Also mostly road with a track finish, right? Either way, Coronado is probably Colorado’s second best boys team and MV is absolutely dominant.

MV girls... Coronado boys.... Right?? I don't think AA raced full force today. But they are down a few due to injuries. I wonder if they can beat Vista head to head full force.

Added... Were MV boys actually full force today? If so, they weren't their typical selves after the first 2 boys.

Mountain Vista was missing Windholz (16:36 at NXR) and Wakimura (4:36 1600 at the Texas Distance festival last track season). Not sure how much having them will help them
