Council P at the Student Leadership Camp in Fort Collins.

I would just like to share how #IMPACTful this year’s Student Leadership Camp was to my future and for my school. What an amazing, life-changing experience!

Student Council State Camp was so incredible. I have never met such a wonderful group of people in my life. I made so many new friends that I didn’t know before Monday and now I see several of them creating a life-long friendship with me, and the rest of my council.

The people I met this week are such amazing leaders and it was so inspiring to see how quickly and easy it was for so many strangers to gather, and, after four days together, create such a powerful bond. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer!

I would like to thank everyone for making such a great #IMPACT on me and my future. We are all wonderful leaders and we have the power to make the overall difference! Thank you for making the difference in me — I plan to visit again next year, and also hope to become a JC after I graduate!

This camp meant so much to me. Thank you and everyone involved for all the hard work! It truly does pay off!

Last week, 500 students ventured to the campus of Colorado State University in Fort Collins to attend CHSAA’s student leadership camp.

Official practice begins August 5 for boys’ golf; August 12 for all others

AURORA — The Colorado High School Activities Association and its 343 member schools open the 93rd school year with Boys’ Golf official practice on August 5. All other sports start officially on August 12. Student athletes in Cross Country, Field Hockey, Boys’ Golf, Football, Girls’ Gymnastics, Boys’ Soccer, Softball, Boys’ Tennis, Volleyball and Spirit anxiously await that starting date.

“The beginning of any new sports season practice remains one of the most exciting days in a student’s life, but the first fall practice is always a little bit more special. High school sports and that first day of practice offer each of us the chance to get back to the community-based roots that high school sports provide. Look around the state and you will see that each school is the hub of the activities in its neighborhood and community,” CHSAA Commissioner Paul Angelico said.

Teams may start scrimmages on August 8 for Boys’ Golf, August 12 for Softball, August 15 Boys’ Tennis and August 22 for the rest of the sports. The first contest for Boys’ Golf is August 8 for Boys’ Golf, August 15 for Boys’ Tennis August 16 for Softball and August 29 for all other sports. Football teams, with approval from the CHSAA Office may play a Week Zero game if certain criteria have been met.

In May, 1921, a group of superintendents and principals met in Boulder and organized the Colorado High School Athletic Conference. The purpose of this organization was to better regulate and develop the interscholastic school athletic program.

There were nine leagues by the time the first constitution was published, including the Northern, North Central, Western Slope, Suburban, Southeastern, Arkansas Valley, South Central and San Juan Basin leagues.

The first champions crowned that school year were Colorado Springs in football, Greeley in basketball, and Fort Collins in track and field.

In 1924, the Colorado High School Athletic Conference joined the National Federation of State High School Associations and has remained an active member of that organization ever since.

Loveland’s R.W. Truscott was the Association’s first president and Eaton’s J.C. Casey its first secretary (commissioner). Truscott replaced Casey as secretary in December, 1926 and held that post until July, 1948 when Glenn T. Wilson became commissioner. Ray C. Ball took over the commissioner’s post in 1966 and remained in the office until August, 1986 when Ray Plutko assumed the duties. Bob Ottewill became the Association’s sixth commissioner in July, 1990, followed by Bill Reader who served as Commissioner from 2002 until 2010. Angelico assumed the reins on July 1, 2010

The CHSAA has had 58 presidents dating back to 1921. Its current president, Centauri High School Principal Curt Wilson, is in the first year of a two-year term as president.

The Association enters the year with few changes on staff. Paul Angelico, a 25-year member of the staff, is Commissioner. Assistant Commissioners Bert Borgmann and Tom Robinson are in their 26th and 13th years on the staff, respectively. Meanwhile, Bethany Brookens and Harry Waterman are in their sixth year with the Association. Bud Ozzello enters is in his fourth year on the staff. Jenn Roberts-Uhlig is now in her second year on the staff, while Ryan Casey joins the staff as Director of Web Services this year.

Malinda Arensdorf serves as administrative assistant to Waterman, while Kim Rose (Angelico), Lisa Cunningham (Borgmann), Kenzie Hewson (Brookens), Jane Boudreau (Roberts-Uhlig), Audra Cathy (Ozzello) and Monica Tillman (Robinson) work in concert with the other administrators. Bookkeeper Donna Coonts and mail room coordinator Sharon Garcia round out the Association staff.
