  • Getting to Know … Lakewood senior Amber Boll

    Lakewood senior Amber Boll sat down with Jeffco Public Schools communications specialist Dennis Pleuss for a one-on-one interview. Boll won the individual all-around state championship at the Class 5A gymnastics state tournament in November. She also won every individual event final and became the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 at state in 30 years. Boll talks about her accomplishments and her next challenge of heading to the Air Force Academy after graduation.

    This is the fourth of the monthly series of “Getting to Know …” where we’ll have one-on-one interviews with Jeffco student-athletes.

  • Jeffco student-athletes sign National Letter of Intent with service academies

    JEFFERSON COUNTY — Of the nearly 50 student-athletes from Jeffco Public Schools that signed their National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, two are heading to United States service academics.

    Lakewood senior Amber Boll — Class 5A gymnastics all-around state champion — is headed to the Air Force Academy. D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School senior Taylor Gustafson is headed to the United State Coast Guard Academy to continue his lacrosse career.

    Boll wrapped up her final year competing on Lakewood’s gymnastics team a few weeks ago in perfect style. She scored the first perfect 10 during the state meet in 30 years while sweeping all five individual events.

    “It has been an honor to represent Lakewood through gymnastics,” Boll said during the signing celebration Wednesday morning. “It’s an experience I will never forget.

    Her plans down in Colorado Springs is to continue her gymnastics career, study mechanical engineering to eventually become a pilot.

    Gustafson has been a mainstay playing lacrosse at Columbine for the past three seasons, including his two goals and assist performance in last spring’s 5A state quarterfinal game. The Rebels defeated powerhouse Cherry Creek 6-5 to advance to the state semifinals.

    The D’Evelyn student-athlete has one more season on the lacrosse field with Columbine before heading to New London, Conn. to play for the Coast Guard Academy.

    “I’ve had the desire ever since I was young to service my country,” Gustafson said during D’Evelyn’s afternoon signing ceremony. “I was truly inspired by my grandfather.”

    Gustafson’s grandfather was a marine and served in Vietnam.

    Gustafson said he started the recruiting process early. As so as his freshman year he started contacting colleges. He made a visit to the Coast Guard Academy two years ago and went through a quasi-military experience over this past summer that confirmed his desire to enter the service academy.

  • Lakewood’s Amber Boll scores a 10.0 on vault during gymnastics individual event finals

    Day 3 state gymnastics

    THORNTON — A perfect 10.0.

    Amber Boll’s only vault in the Class 5A state gymnastics finals was so sensational, every spectator at the meet rose and cheered. The Lakewood Tiger, minted as the 5A all-around queen on Thursday, achieved something rare.

    “It was truly amazing,” she said. “I was just focusing on the landing. When I saw the scores, it was disbelief. I love seeing a 10.”

    To perform a vault, the gymnast sprints down a runway, hurdles onto a springboard, and leaps onto the vault with their hands. The landing is the trickiest part, to try and stick it without having the feet or rest of the body flail.

    Boll’s performance checked all the boxes needed for a perfect score, securing only the second such mark at the Colorado state meet. The other 10.0 was recorded back in 1988 (Broomfield’s Carol Ulrich, floor exercise).

    “That vault performance was amazing,” Lakewood coach Jamie Zeeman added. “She had a 10 (in a non-state meet) once before that. It was last year. She did everything perfect.”

    The vault cemented Boll’s status as one of Colorado’s finest gymnasts, as did championships in the all-around, balance beam, floor exercise, uneven bars, and vault competitions — the rare five.

    “Gymnastics has been my life for a long time,” she said. “I hope it just brings awareness to how good gymnastics can be. I was excited about my floor, because it was even better than my previous meet. I tried to make everything as clean as possible.”

    She certainly did that and more with tremendous marks in beam (9.600), bars (9.850), and floor (9.850). To those who had witnessed Boll’s accomplishments Thursday — a 9.900 during the vault preliminaries and an all-around point total of 39.125 — the title haul wasn’t a surprise.

    But, something did catch Zeeman off-guard.

    “Beam has always been her Achilles heel,” she said. “For her to win it was a huge accomplishment.”

    A former Lakewood gymnast herself (2010 graduate), Zeeman is brightened by the thought of what Boll delivered to the program (first gymnastics champion of any kind) and to the sport in general.

    “It’s really cool in Jeffco that gymnasts like Amber are able to showcase it, make it known, and give it the publicity that it needs,” she beamed.

    Nearly half of the 4A and 5A competitors in event finals were from Jefferson County.

    One such competitor was Green Mountain senior, Emily Graham, who overcame a near-season ending injury to clinch her spot as 4A’s queen. She won the all-around title with 37.025 points, just barely edging Lindsay Chohon of Niwot (37.000).

    Graham (uneven bars champion in 2016) endured plenty just to get herself physically ready to perform. Unfortunately, injuries prevented her from any wins Saturday.

    Nonetheless, she added to a rich tradition for Green Mountain. Teammate Lucy Meinert was the balance beam champion this year.

    As for Niwot, the top 4A team, Chohon led a 1-2-3 finish in the floor exercise, posting a 9.600. Grace Stephenson and Mia Curry were second and third.

    In other classification finals, Ciera Babb doubled up on victories in vault (9.500) and bars (9.400). As a sophomore, she became the first title-winner in Rampart history (balance beam).

    Babb was a member of a groundbreaking team in 2016 as well, the first from the school to qualify for the state gymnastics meet.

  • Photos: Individuals shine on final day of state gymnastics meet

    THORNTON — Individual champions, including Lakewood’s Amber Boll, were crowned on the final day of the state gymnastics meet.

  • After two runner-up finishes, Niwot gymnastics breaks through for state title in Class 4A

    (Brock Laue/CHSAANow.com)

    THORNTON — Gaius Sallustius Crispus, an Ancient Roman historian, didn’t have Niwot gymnastics in mind when he said, “Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.”

    But the phrase certainly applies to this group. The Cougars only feature 15 athletes, eight of which competed during Friday’s opening round of the Class 4A state gymnastics championships.

    That was all Niwot needed to finish atop the team standings for the first time since 2015 as they garnered 181.500 points. Green Mountain, featuring all-around state champion Emily Graham (37.025 points), was the runner-up with 179.950.

    The small seeds of a meager Niwot roster, only in number of entries, blossomed into a sturdy force, capping the program’s 2018 aspirations with a gold trophy.

    “With low numbers, they become super close,” coach Marisa Purcell said. “They become a lot closer than they do when you have a lot more gymnasts.”

    The essence of this group is the alliance they have with one another. Although plenty of teams create deep ties, the Cougars are even closer. Donned in shimmering green and black colors, the gymnasts come from seven different schools in the St. Vrain Valley School District.

    “You’re always proud to bring it home,” Purcell beamed. “It’s special for them to not only represent Niwot, but to represent the district as well.”

    It proved to be a perfect collaborative effort for the group, who was looking to climb to the peak of 4A after back-to-back second place showings to Elizabeth and Green Mountain.

    In some ways, unity can only take a team so far though. For teams with realistic championship hopes, ability matters just as much.

    Niwot is plenty capable, flashing both their physical and psychological strengths with a bundle of points in the floor exercise (Grace Stephenson first, Lindsay Chohon second), balance beam (Hattie Katachis second, Taylor Green Becker third), and vault and uneven bars (two in top four of each event).

    “We worked really hard this off-season to get some bigger skills and get the right routines down in order to be contenders here at state,” Purcell said.

    During last week’s regional meet, Chohon and company gave a glimpse of what was in store Friday with sweeps of at least the top three spots in every event. Chohon, a senior, was at the forefront of that effort, bettering all competitors in the floor exercise, balance beam, and vault.

    It was still a little bittersweet Friday for the Cougars though as Chohon finished runner-up for the second time in a row, a fraction of a point behind Graham in the all-around competition — 37.025-37.000.

    “She’s one special girl to me,” her coach said, still plenty proud of Niwot’s top competitor. “I’ve coached her since she was 10, so we’ve been able to travel this journey together. She was voted captain this year by her teammates and led them.”

    The skillful group (Katachis was third in all-around) lifted Niwot to a sixth team championship (1991, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2015, 2018). They are now tied with Loveland for the fourth-most titles in the Colorado prep ranks.

    The school also collected plenty of hardware at the state cross country meet six days ago as Cruz Culpepper and Layla Roebke won individual crowns, and the girls team conquered 4A.

    As for Graham, an evening that was capped with a title was almost stalled from the get-go.

    “Going into this week, we thought I had a torn ACL and meniscus,” she said. “We got results back yesterday and nothing’s torn, it’s something else.”

    The senior, with third and fourth place showings on her resume from the past two seasons, endured the pain, especially in vault.

    “All season I’ve just been doing one vault,” the newly crowned 4A queen said. “Tonight I decided to go for a second time and on my second one I got a 9.4. That was the best score I got all year.

    “Down the vault runway, it hurt pretty bad but I fought through it.”

    Graham finished second in the event, which added to a runner-up score in uneven bars and a fourth place finish in balance beam. As a result, she became Green Mountain’s first all-around winner since Melanie Zaharias (5A, 1998).

    Humble in victory, Graham was just as pleased with Green Mountain’s overall performance.

    “We pulled together as a team so much,” she said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better last meet. We have a good history with the coaches having state championships and I was on the championship team my sophomore year. Just adding to that is exciting.

    “We also have a really talented young group of girls.”
