Happenings since XC season
Samantha Lewis is the national champion for high school girls in snowshoeing. She traveled to Syracuse, NY over the March 6 weekend and won convincingly. Congrats Sammy!
Kelsey Lakowske finished 6th in the XC National Championship in San Diego, CA. Following the season Kelsey was awarded Gatorade Runner of the Year for Colorado, and the Sportswomen of Colorado Award in the sport of cross country. Yeah Kelsy!
Ashi Guiles ran in the Simplot Games in Pocatello, Idaho in the 1600 meters. In the preliminary heat Ashi ran a fast 4:32, and unfortunately was tangled up with another runner during the final and finished in 4:42. He's looking for a fast outdoor season.
Dominic Cabada ran a couple of fast times this winter as he was out visiting Black Hills State in South Dakota. He competed in the 1600 and ran 4:45, then completed the 3200 in 10:10. Another guy who is ready for the track season!
Coach Prue Daniels left Boulder right after the XC season to go work the ski season in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Unfortunately, Prue tore her ACL early on and has had surgery to fix her injury. She has kept up her positive spirit, and continues to work up in Jackson Hole.
Coach Andrew McCartin will graduate from the University of Colorado in May, and has already found a job with Lockheed Martin. Way to go Andrew!

Program overview
Cross Country is a terrific sport for people of all abilities. It is a no-cut sport where some people get to showcase their terrific running talent, while others may use the season to get in shape for another sport or to connect with a great group of people. The coaches will be committed to creating workouts and an atmosphere where the goals of all the athletes are met. Workouts will be individualized based on fitness level, caliber of racing, previous running experience, and goals for the season. Every year the cross-country team is composed of students who tend to have high grades, participate in a broad array of extra-curricular activities, and invest in both their sport and the people on the team. Boulder High has an illustrious tradition of producing some of the best distance runners in the state.
