DENVER — Vail Christian won its seventh-straight title in 2A poms at Saturday’s state spirit championships.

“It’s crazy. I’ve been here every year we’ve won, because my older sisters were both on the team,” Vail Christian captain Isabelle Carlson said. “How far this team has come this year is really inspiring. We pulled it together and got it done.”

Patti Carlson — in her seventh year as the coach of the Saints — has a state championship for every year dating back to 2011. Vail Christian has not won a title in any other sport.

“I’m so proud of these girls,” Patti Carlson said. “These kids did everything. They’re smart, they work hard. We’re here, and we won.”

The championship win puts the Saints in a tie for the eighth-most spirit spirit titles in state history.

Vail Christian turned in a score of 76.9833 to beat out Sanford, who finished with a final score of 68.9333. The Saints made it to the finals with a score of 77.3833 in Friday’s competition.

“Our school is small, so it feels like a family,” Patti Carlson said. “We’ve had so many sisters on our team. It’s family support.”

Elsewhere in poms, Bayfield took the 3A title over Aspen with an impressive score of 84.9167. Bayfield finished runner-up at last year’s competition.

Wheat Ridge claimed a repeat title in 4A with its score of 88.4333. Valor Christian edged out Erie to take second place with an 85.0333.

ThunderRidge won its first title in 5A poms with a score of 94.2333. Grandview finished in second for a second straight runner-up finish.

Cherokee Trail won the school’s first title in 5A cheer, beating last year’s champion Rock Canyon.

Valor Christian won the 4A championship by virtue of a tiebreak over Thompson Valley. The two teams tied with 83.0500 points, but Valor had a higher average score from the cheer judges, which gave them the title.

Valor Christian won the 2016 title, while Thompson Valley finished runner-up.

In 3A, The Academy topped Pinnacle and Prospect Ridge with a score of 80.35. That’s the school’s first 3A cheer title.

Highland won a second-straight title in 2A cheer, finishing ahead of Cheyenne Wells.

LAFAYETTE — Davis Long’s round of three-under gave him the individual title at the Class 3A boys golf state tournament at Indian Peaks Golf Course. As for the team title, well, that took a little longer.

“It’s super surreal,” Long said after his round. “I wasn’t really expecting it, I was thinking more about the team today. That was a fun time, but I don’t think it’s really set in yet.”

Peak to Peak won the team title after a two-team playoff.

“It feels wonderful. I’m very proud of the guys,” Peak to Peak coach John Thornbury said. “They played extremely well under pressure and really came through in the clutch. It was a full team effort. Everybody contributed at the end and throughout the tournament. I’m thrilled they could do it on their home course.”

Both Peak to Peak’s Davis Long and Prospect Ridge’s Walker Franklin had to make crucial putts in their rounds.

Long dropped his birdie putt in on 18 to move to three-under and a share of the lead.

“After yesterday, it turned into a whole different ballgame being just 18 holes,” Long said. “Just because it was 18, I was playing a little bit more aggressive. I know this course pretty well, so I played it how I’ve always played it.”

At the same time, Franklin had his ball on the green staring down a par putt that would have finished him at three-under.

Franklin bounced it off the edge of the cup and was forced to settle for bogey and a share of second place with defending champion Oliver Jack.

Franklin did not shoot a bogey for 17 holes.

Jack played to a steady one-under heading to a par-four seventh hole. Jack drove the green, then made a 15-foot eagle putt to move to three-under and into the lead.

A birdie to start the back nine had Jack (-4) two strokes ahead of the field.

“It was great playing with (Jack) because it kept me on my toes,” Long said. “He’s a great player, so he’s great to play with and keep up neck and neck with him.”

Jack would have to rally after a double-bogey on 12 that put him into a tie with Franklin and Long. He grabbed a birdie on 17, but it wasn’t enough to keep up with Long.

Long jumped in the lead at two-under after birdies on three and four, but fell off towards the end of the front nine with two straight bogies.

But, he hung tough and stayed close.

“Just knowing that you can’t really make a big mistake that would kill you,” Long said. “At the end of the day, you have to go out and play golf and see what happens.”

With birdies on 16 and 18, Long jumped to the top of the leaderboard.

Teammates Ian Thorpe (+1), Nishant Datta (+3) and Ethan Tartaglia (+8) turned in solid efforts to boost Peak to Peak to a tie with Kent Denver for the team championship.

(Cannon Casey/CHSAANow.com)

“A team championship would be so amazing,” Long said just after his round finished. “It was really cool to make that putt on 18 with some of the guys from school standing around.”

Aspen (+8), Eaton (+18) and Colorado Academy (+20) rounded out the top five.

Peak to Peak and Kent Denver played a two team playoff with one foursome for each team. The best three scores from each team were chosen for scoring. 

After the playoff, it was Peak to Peak that took the team title. Tartaglia’s playoff par was ultimately the decider.

“I told them that they’ve played this hole hundreds of times,” Thornbury said. “They know what their shots are on this whole. Play it as you’re most comfortable.”

Estes Park’s Ivan Richmond, the 2016 Class 3A runner-up, started the front nine with a birdie, and made a string of pars, then ran into trouble on the eighth hole.

Richmond shot a bogey on eight, then a double bogey on nine to make the turn at two-over.

Richmond ended with a three-over.

The tournament was changed to a one-day format due an unplayable course on Monday. Then, on Tuesday, play was delayed due to a 30-minute frost delay.

19 holes later, Peak to Peak and Long took home the championship.

Peak to Peak’s Ethan Tartaglia set two records on Monday: a school record for individual score and a school record low team score.

Tartaglia shot a four-under-par 68 — good for third place, while Peak to Peak’s team score of seven-under beat the previous school record by 13 strokes put the Pumas in first place.

Behind the record-setting performance, Prospect Ridge’s Walker Franklin and Kent Denver’s Jackson Klutznick tied for first place. 

Kent Denver (-5) came in second place.

Klutznick hit an eagle on 17, then birdied 18 to come in at six-under-par.

Franklin, who birdied the final two holes, did not have a bogey in the round.

Sterling wins Tri-Valley league tournament behind Lambrecht’s effort

Bolstered by Brayden Lambrecht’s score of six-under-par, Sterling won the Tri-Valley league tournament by eight strokes.

Lambrecht eagled a par-5 fifth hole to get to six-under on the day. His lone bogey came on a par-3 eleven.

Lambrecht shot five strokes better than Mead’s TJ Shehee (-1). In the program’s first year, Mead (+13) took second place.

Windsor (+14), Berthoud (+19) and Frederick (+26) rounded out the top five.

Windsor’s Chandler Schulz tied for third place with Roosevelt’s Tyler Severin.
