    COLORADO SPRINGS – The end of the Class 4A boys cross country race was the talk of the course on Saturday morning.

    In the final stretch as they approached the finish, Niwot’s Zane Bergen and Green Mountain’s Grahm Tuohy-Gados were in close pursuit of one another. Roughly 50 feet from the finish, the two got tangled up and Bergen fell to the ground before regaining his feet and finishing.

    So while Tuohy-Gados crossed first, with Bergen just behind, Tuohy-Gados was disqualified for impeding a runner. It meant Bergen won the state title.

    Even though he fell, Bergen’s time of 15 minutes, 29.5 seconds still set the 4A course record, which was previously held by former Niwot teammate Cruz Culpepper.

    “It was a pretty physical race the whole way,” Bergen said. “I knew I had a shot to catch him when we were coming into the stadium. I got cut off when I tried to pass him and got tangled up and I fell. But I just knew I had to get up and finish the race for the team.”

    Paced by Bergen’s late-race efforts, the Niwot boys won the team championship with a score of 36 and well ahead of runner-up Cheyenne Mountain.

    In fact, the Cougars took home both the 4A boys and girls team trophies for the second year in a row. For the Niwot girls, it was their third straight year winning the team title. This time, it was a freshman, Mia Prok, who led the way with a runner-up finish and a time of 18:02.4 that helped the Cougars beat Battle Mountain by 38 points with a team score of 55.

    Ahead of Prok’s impressive freshman debut was an even more impressive finish by Air Academy freshman Bethany Michalak. Leading the Kadets to a third-place team placing, Michalak won the girls 4A race with a time of 17:59.1.

    “It was an incredibly hard race today,” Michalak said. “It was really hot and there wasn’t a ton of shade but I’m really happy with how it turned out. Me and Mia have raced against each other in club a lot, so I knew she was a really amazing runner and a great competitor. With her and Samantha Blair (Eagle Valley), I knew there was going some great competition.

    “I’m glad I was able to win.”

  • State skiing: Aspen claims team titles as Weiss siblings win nordic again

    (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)

    EDWARDS — Aspen claimed both the boys and girls state skiing championships on Friday behind outstanding individual performances which saw the programs claim six individual championships in the eight events.

    And on Friday, that meant the Weiss siblings — Elsie and Anders — repeated their feat from Thursday when the brother-sister duo claimed the nordic events. This time, they each won the skate.

    It helped Aspen’s boys win a third-straight state title, and 10th overall. The Skiers amassed 667 points, ahead of second-place Battle Mountain (620). Middle Park was third with 579, Steamboat Springs (555) was fourth and Evergreen (484) was fifth.

    The Aspen girls won for the third time in six years, and ninth overall. They totaled 674 points. Battle Mountain (607.5 points) was second, Summit (561) was third, Middle Park (533.5) was fourth, and Steamboat Springs (530) placed fifth.

    Aspen’s Charlie Olsen won boys slalom event, recording the fastest time in each run. His combined time of 1:20.6 led the field, and earned him a state title. Battle Mountain’s Will Bettenhausen was second (1:21.57), and Durango’s Toby Scarpella, who won the giant slalom on Thursday, was third in 1:22.08.

    Overall, Aspen continued its strong alpine showing with five races among the top 11 finishers.

    The boys race had 17 racers who didn’t finish the first run, two who didn’t start, and another seven who were disqualified. Eight more didn’t finish the second run, and three more were disqualified. In total, 64 of the original 101 entrants finished both runs.

    In the girls’ slalom, Olyvia Snyder of Summit capture the state title on the strength of second-run time of 41.86 which propelled her to a combined time of 1:22.12. Battle Mountain’s Berit Frischholz was second in 1:22.61, and Aspen’s Stella Sherlock was third (1:23.49).

    Snyder’s win paced an impressive performance from Summit in the event, which placed four among the top 11.

    When it came time for the nordic events at Maloit Park in Minturn, the Weiss tandem doubled up their titles.

    Elsie, a freshman, won the girls race with a time of 14:43.5, edging out Colorado Rocky Mountain’s Lola Villafranco, who finished in 14:45.1.

    Aspen’s Emma Barsness was third in 14:52.3, helping to lead an unbelievable contingent of Skiers at the top: four of the top five, five of the top eight, and six among the top 11.

    Anders Weiss, a sophomore, led the boys skate field with a time of 12:17.0, ahead of teammate Taiga Moore (12:35.9) in second. Eagle Valley’s Ferguson St. John was third in 12:38.7.

    Elsie, a freshman, cruised to a first-place finish in the classic start, winning her race when she finished in 16:56.5. Anders, a sophomore, won his race about 30 minutes later when he finished with a top time of 14:33.6.

    For each, it was the first high school race they’d won all season. Elsie had finished second twice, and third another time, and Anders had multiple top-10 finishes.

    Aspen also had skiers finish six and eighth, giving them four of the top eight placers.

    In the boys race, Durango’s Toby Scarpella won with a two-run time of 2:10.97, giving the Demons their first individual state championship since the program returned three years ago. The program previously went away in the 1980s.

    Vail Mountain’s Cole Pattison (2:12.07) placed second, and was followed by Aspen’s Charlie Olsen (2:13.75), Vail Mountain’s Mackay Pattison (2:14.97), and Battle Mountain’s Jakub Pecinka (2:14.99).

  • Discovery Canyon boys basketball knocks off Battle Mountain in 4A’s 1st round

    Discovery Canyon Battle Mountain boys basketball
    (Ryan Casey/CHSAANow.com)

    EDWARDS — Discovery Canyon boys basketball was firmly in control of its first-round matchup with Battle Mountain through three quarters, leading by nine points, only to see that lead slip away.

    As the fourth quarter opened, the lead went to seven, then five — then two. But Discovery Canyon was unfazed. Thunder coach Paul Campbell opted to not take a timeout, and let his players push through the spurt.

    It paid off.

    Jaxon Smith hit a layup off a fast-break with about four minutes to play which stopped Battle Mountain’s 7-0 run, and sparked an 8-0 run for Discovery Canyon.

    “We had gotten a couple of good looks and just missed them,” Campbell said. “It was just one of those things. At that point, I try to do my best to trust them, and save those timeouts.”

    Of the bucket, which pushed Discovery Canyon’s lead to four points, he added: “That was a backdoor cut, we drew that play up. We tried it earlier in the quarter, and we couldn’t get the look because they were playing really good defense on us, and we couldn’t slip that. But that was a really great job by Jaxon, and a good job getting the ball to him.”

    The Thunder, seeded No. 36, went on to upset No. 29 Battle Mountain 44-36 in the Class 4A tournament. They advance to play No. 4 Golden on Saturday.

    On Wednesday, Discovery Canyon and Battle Mountain were tied at 13 after the first quarter. The Thunder adjusted their defensive focus to Battle Mountain star Liam McKenny, and it worked: They held the Huskies to just two points in the second quarter as they grabbed a 24-15 lead.

    “We applied a little bit more pressure to them, and we had to double-up (McKenny),” Campbell said. “He’s such a good player. He’s so strong, he’s a big kid. The thing that’s special about him is that he can play with his back to the basket, and he can also face up and go after you. So he’s a hard guy; you want the ball out of his hands.

    “That was our biggest adjustment: to get the ball out of his hands. And we limited his possessions in the second quarter.”

    The game stayed about that margin with Discovery Canyon holding a 35-26 lead after three quarters.

    McKenny broke through for 13 second-half points, and finished with a game-high 20.

    But Discovery Canyon’s team defense and balanced offense was the difference. Smith led the Thunder with 19 points, and Ethan Hall had 14 points.

    “That’s a good team,” Campbell said. “That’s a really good team. Coach did a good job, and they were really well-prepared. It was back-and-forth. We jumped out on them in the second quarter but, man, they fought back. Two good teams, I think, and they were both well-prepared, and it just happened to go our way.”
