Neither rain nor sleet nor dark of day could keep these Cougars from their appointed (runs) rounds.

The first day at Garden of the Gods turned out to be a great start with about twelve runners taking part in the workout.

LaTraia Scott Awarded the Gatorade Colorado Track Athlete of the Year

Earlier this week, LaTraia earned her highest and most prestigious award yet.  Gatorade anointed LaTraia as their Colorado Girls Track Athlete of the Year.  The award recognizes not only athletic prowess, but also academic achievement and exemplar character.  It's obvious that the folks at Gatorade got to know their candidates very well, as they couldn't have made a better choice.  LaTraia is now up for consideration as Gatorade's selection of "National Track Athlete of the Year".  Congratulations LaTraia...we're going to miss you.

Garden of the God Filled with Connections to Coronado

Hannah Green led a contingent of current and past Cougars at Sunday's Garden of the Gods 10 Mile Race.  Hannah ran the ten miles in one hour, thirteen minutes and fourteen second (1:13.14) to easily rule the 15 to 19 age group, for the second straight year.  Teammate and recent Coronado graduate Angela Vitulli finished third in the same age group in a time of 1:28.11.  Running tenth in the same age group, a returning Cougar, Kaeli Vandersluis was timed in 1:40.47.  And future Cougar XC runner, Catherine Rudder only only five minutes back, finishing 16th in her age group.

Former Cougars Jessie Gulsvig and Alicia Vandersluis (how did I miss you guys) represented Coronado in great fashion with Jessie running fifth in the 20 to 24 age group in a great time of 77:41 and Alicia finishing 17th in the same age group in 90:46.  Former Cougar Coach Schleiker finished between the two former Cougars in a time of 82.44.

Special kudos to Craig Hafer, Brenda Vandersluis, JD McKinna, Lanel Welsby and Tim Terrill, parents of current and past Cougars for their respective finishes in the Garden of the Gods Ten Mile.

The women dominate the Cougar representation at the 10 mile race. The sole representation on the men's side came from incoming freshman, Schuyler Vandersluis, finishing fifth in his age group in a great time of 94:.27.  Nice job Schuyler... we're looking forward to a great four years of stellar performances.
