Last fall, as a sophomore, Erin Gillcrist helped Lakewood volleyball reach the Class 5A regional round. Now, just before her junior season begins, Gillcrist has already made collegiate plans.
On Monday, Gillcrist announced her commitment to San Diego State over Twitter:

Gillcrist, an opposite and outside hitter, had 155 kills (2.3 per set) and 72 total digs last season. She was also on the Tigers’ varsity team as a freshman, recording 36 kills.
Lakewood was 13-12 last season. Two years ago, the Tigers went 17-8.
San Diego State, a member of the Mountain West Conference, went 14-15 last season. The Aztecs have Overland graduate Ciara Brown on the roster this season as a senior.
Gillcrist is the sixth known volleyball player from the 2017 class to make her college choice.

The 2015 all-state baseball teams honor the best players in the sport as judged by the leagues and coaches. They are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues and coaches, and then a vote of coaches. Players had to be first-team all-league in order to be on the all-state ballot.
Players and coaches of the year were also selected by a vote of the coaches.

The 2015 all-state boys track and field teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
These teams were created based upon results at the state meet.
Athletes of the year were selected based upon the number of team points they produced at the state meet. This means that they received the full amount of team points from individual events they participated in, as well as one-fourth of the total points earned by the team in relays they participated in.
Finally, in order to be considered for athlete of the year, they must first have made the all-state team by winning in a championship.

LITTLETON — Colorado has a long-standing tradition of producing excellent girls distance runners.
But the recent group of transcendent stars, equally capable in cross country and track, make a case as the greatest high schoolers to ever run on Colorado soil.
Just look at the past three weekends.
On April 10 at the prestigious Arcadia Invitational in California, Fort Collins sophomore phenom Lauren Gregory ran a 4:48 in the mile, good for fourth place in the race and sixth place in the country. But Gregory was only third among competitors from her own state. Cherry Creek senior Jordyn Colter won in a national-best 4:45, while Air Academy junior Katie Rainsberger placed third in the race in the fourth best time in America, 4:47.
If that’s not enough to impress you, consider Colter broke the Colorado record in the 800-meter run with a 2:05.48 at the Stutler Bowl Twilight Invite on Friday, smashing Tara Mendozza’s 2:07.53, set in 1999. Colter is now number one in the country in the 800, as well.
The Liberty Bell Invitational, hosted by Heritage High School at Littleton Public School Stadium on Friday and Saturday, followed suit with some eye-popping times.
Gregory, already a three-time individual state champion in cross country and track, came within shouting distance of setting a Colorado record in the 3,200 on Friday with a ridiculous time of 10:25. Her winning margin was 39 seconds over Denver North’s Kayla Young (11:04) and Legacy’s Emma Gee (11:06), standout runners in their own right.
The all-time best is 10:17, set by Niwot’s Elise Cranny at the 4A state championships a year ago. Cranny recently broke the American junior record in the indoor 3,000 meters as a freshman at Stanford, so it’s fair to say Gregory is in good company. The sophomore broke the Fort Collins’ school record and the meet record and now boasts the best time on Colorado soil this spring by 28 seconds over Rainsberger.

Not to be outdone, though, Rainsberger cruised to a comfortable victory in the 1,600-meter run on Saturday with a 4:56. She was a mere four seconds off the meet record and won by 16 seconds over Fort Collins’ Devynn Miller.
Count Rainsberger as one of those who embraces the competition.
“I think it’s always awesome when Colorado girls go out and represent,” she said. “It’s kind of a pride thing.”
That being said, Rainsberger shies away from comparisons between her, Gregory, and Colter — the elite trio.
“I think it’s hard to compare yourself to someone, because you are all at different points, but I definitely look up to them,” she added. “I aspire to run 2:05 or 10:25. I don’t necessarily compare myself to them, but I admire them. We’re all really good friends too.”
The girls distance events at Liberty Bell were exceptional all around as 25 young ladies broke 12 minutes in the 3,200 and Fort Collins’ Becca Schulte won a stacked 800 in 2:14. Shining Mountain’s Ginger Hutton, a 1A competitor, ran an 11:28 in the 3,200 Friday and came back to get second place in the two-lapper in 2:15.
On the boys side of things, SkyView Academy’s Ben Butler handled a worthy 3,200 field with a time of 9:23. The 3A runner ranks second for all classifications in the event.
Regis Jesuit’s Javan Lanier ran the second quickest time in all classifications himself in the 100 meter dash in 10.73. Four others broke 11 seconds.
Pine Creek’s Dionne Taylor won the high jump with a mark of 6-8. Trevor Rex of Highlands Ranch also went 6-8, but in more attempts.
Castle View’s Mackenzie Pettit broke the meet record in the girl high jump, clearing 5-7.
Gateway’s Mike Ware (48.25) and Lakewood sophomore Brock Miller (48.99) impressed in the 400 meter dash.
Fountain-Fort Carson boys, speaking to their dominance in 2015, won the 4×100-meter relay in a time of 41.64 — a new best mark in the state — the 4×200 relay in 1:27.99, the 4×400 relay in 3:26, and the 4×800 relay in 7:59. Entering the weekend, the Trojans were ranked No. 1 in 5A in all four relays.
They are the heavy favorites to defend their team crown.

Dylan Day, a future Ole Miss Rebel and one of the cogs in the Trojan machine, placed third in the 3,200 (9:40), second in the 1,600 (4:23), and ran a leg on that winning 4×800. The senior says one of Fountain-Fort Carson’s goals is to dominate the relays at Jeffco Stadium.
“I don’t know if it’s ever happened before, but we would like to win all four relays at state,” Day said. “That would be one of the best ways to end my senior year.”
Smoky Hill senior Blake Yount, a 1:51.63 runner in the 800 a season ago — the state record — crushed the field Saturday with a 1:52.61. That’s the new No. 1 in 5A in 2015 and should give him the top seed at the state meet.
Fort Collins girls pushed past fellow 5A title favorites Pine Creek to win the Liberty Bell Invite as a team. Fountain-Fort Carson, as expected, were the boys champions.
HIGHLANDS RANCH — Cooper Shearon hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift second-ranked Mountain Vista baseball to a 6-5 win over Lakewood in extra innings on Monday.
Mountain Vista needed some heroics to even get to extra innings. The Golden Eagles trailed by three entering the bottom of the seventh, and tied the game on Marc Mumper’s three-run homer.
The teams went scoreless in the eighth inning, then Mumper, a senior, took the mound and held the Tigers by striking out two in the top of the ninth. That set the stage for Shearon’s one-out walk-off.
Mumper was 2-for-3 with four RBIs at the plate.
Vista sophomore Jalen Saiz went four innings and allowed just one earned one and one hit.
Lakewood’s Chase Powell pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing just two earned runs (five total), and striking out seven. The Tigers’ Marcelo Sanchez and Danny Collins were each 2-for-4 with two RBIs.
