COLORADO SPRINGS — Alex Baca made school history on Saturday, and what a time to do it.

Baca, a senior, won the Class 3A boys cross country state championship, becoming the school’s first ever cross country champion.

“I’m shaken and blown away, it’s a lot to process,” said Baca. “I’m so grateful, it’s hard to put into words because of how crazy things have been in this world, a lot of people worked very hard to put this on for us and I’m just grateful to even be here.”

Baca crossed the finish line at 16:07, only two seconds in front of second place finisher Joshua Medina of Alamosa.

The course proved to be difficult, and the final stretch forced the runners to push their limits.

“This course is unforgiving and that last quarter is tough,” Baca said. “It’s a gutsy course and you have to be brave and tough.”

Being Gunnison’s first school champion is a huge honor that Baca feel very fortunate to have.

“I just tried to do this for everyone who tried to do this in the past and all my mentors like Colton Stice, who taught me how to run brave,” Baca said with a smile. “I hope Gunnison is proud of me.”

Despite a strong effort from The Classical Academy and Holy Family, the Frontier Academy boys proved to be too much on Saturday.

Frontier Academy scored 48 points to repeat as the 3A champions. Their top finisher Senior Abuzaid Fanning came in fourth and the team had four top-20 finishers that helped the team finish on top again.

During the girls race, Basalt sophomore Katelyn Maley turned in an outstanding individual effort to claim the title.

“I’m just feeling very excited and we did very well as a team today, especially since we came in today without one of our main runners,” said Maley. “I was in shock when I crossed the finish line and I was only thinking about getting water.”

Maley crossed the finish line with an impressive 18:39 time, 34 seconds ahead of the next finisher, Kennedy McDonald of The Classical Academy. Approaching the last quarter of the race, Maley had a 24 second lead over all other racers.

“The hills and heat were really tough today,” said Maley. “Luckily I kept myself mentally tough and just kept telling myself it would be over soon.”

While Maley may have won the cross country state title, her mind is already looking to the next competition.

“I’m just going to keep grinding till track and field,” Maley said. “Although this season is abbreviated, I’m just glad we got to be here and I’m grateful for everything.”

In the girls team race, The Classical Academy claimed the championship for the second straight year, its twelfth girls team cross country state title in school history.

“I don’t think we felt as much pressure this year, but it just feels really good to be here again and we’ll just keep trying to continue to win,” said McDonald.

TCA claimed that top spot on the toughness of the three top-ten finishes from Kennedy McDonald (second), Cassidy McDonald (eighth), and Sophia Valentine (ninth).

When Sierra Bower crossed the finish line at the Norris Penrose Event Center last fall, it wasn’t joy or elation that she felt from winning the Class 3A girls state cross country title.

It was relief.

Her time of 18 minutes, 00.1 seconds is a 3A course record and something she had been aiming for all season. Heading into 2020, she wants to be a good or better but will have a deeper appreciation for that feeling of crossing the finish line at the state meet.

“That was the goal all year to do that and break that record,” Bower said. “It felt good to finally do that especially because it’s something I think about all the time on my runs and when I’m training.”

To say the growth she experienced as a runner between her sophomore and junior season was remarkable doesn’t quite do her justice.

In 2018, she finished 28th in the state race and her time was two minutes behind where she ended her championship run. It was regimented offseason training that led to her being better and it was the same approach she took on in the time since the season ended.

“It’s hard to peak for state then peak for some of those (regional and national) postseason races that happen in the five or six weeks after,” Basalt coach Ron Lund said. “It’s what you do in between that can have a lot to do with it.”

This year certainly provides a unique circumstance given the COVID-19 pandemic that has engulfed a lot of high school athletics. She was fortunate enough to claim her state championship a year ago and according to Lund, she has colleges knocking down her door trying to get her to run for them.

That makes this season’s bid to repeat more about her own personal competitive nature rather than what life after high school is going to look like.

“From a recruiting standpoint, she doesn’t need to (repeat),” Lund stressed.

But she wants that satisfaction of being the first runner to cross that finish line once again. With a lot on the line for her a year ago, it was that sense of relief that washed over her when she finished 44 seconds ahead of the second-place runner. If she finds herself in the same position this year, she’ll be able to enjoy the accomplishment for what it is on the surface: a championship run.

More than that, she just wants to enjoy everything about competing this year.

“Last year I raced a bunch and never thought a lot about it,” Bower said. “Going into this season I know that nothing is promised. I’m going to take full advantage of a lot of these races. I’m taking each race and almost thinking about it as if it’s my last.”

Her desire to claim another championship will be powered by that mentality. When the starting gun gets fired, she and hundreds of other runners will take off thinking they have everything to win and nothing to lose.
