    Thirteenth-seeded Summit hockey struck first in the first round of the state hockey tournament, but No. 20 Castle View’s barrage of goals led to a 5-2 win.

    Jaret Curran scored twice for the Sabercats, the first of which tied the game. After that, Castle View never trailed again.

    The first period ended in a 2-2 tie but 24 seconds into the second period Jackson Szmul gave the Sabercats the lead for good.

    Zach Carleton and Davis Emery scored the goals for Summit.

    They’ll meet Denver East in the second round of the tournament. It will be the first meeting between the two teams this year.

  • 5A wrestling: Pomona stakes claim to 4th team title in 5 years

    Pomona – Class 5A state champions. (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

    DENVER — Pomona left no doubt when it comes to the Class 5A state wrestling team title.

    “I’ll tell you what. It was fun,” Pomona coach Sam Federico said. “Man our kids wrestled really hard.”

    The Panthers led from start to finish during the 3-day tournament at Pepsi Center racking up 198.5 points. Rocky Mountain finished second with 110.5 points.

    Pomona sophomore Daniel Cardenas (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

    “You can call this a dynasty for sure,” Pomona sophomore Daniel Cardenas said after he pinned Poudre senior Dean Noble in the second period in the 138-pound final. “We have more generations coming too. Pomona isn’t going anywhere.”

    Federico had an impressive total of 10 wrestlers take the podium Saturday night. Maybe even more remarkable is the amount of underclassmen that walked away with medals, only heavyweight Christian Buchholz is a senior.

    Buchholz was in interesting story. He just moved up from 220 pounds to heavyweight before regionals and placed third at state.

    “Our coaching staff doesn’t just consist of the five or six guys you see here. It’s our youth coaches. It’s our parents,” Federico said. “It’s not a team. It’s a program. That is what we’ve build. It’s fun.”

    Juniors Gage Bernall (160 pounds) and Franklin Cruz (195), along with Cardenas (138) and freshman Jakob Romero (126) were the four Panthers to make the championship matches.

    “I have high expectations for myself and for this whole tournament,” Cardenas said. “Everything went as planned.”

    It was a battle of returning state champions between Cruz and Rocky Mountain senior Alec Hargreaves for the 195-pound title. Cruz took a 5-1 victory.

    Cardenas also became a two-time state champion with his victory. The Pomona sophomore is halfway to the coveted 4-time state champion club that grew by four members on Saturday night.

    “Every time I see one of my buddies does it, it looks so cool,” Cardenas said of halfway to winning four individual state titles. “That’s one of my goals, to be a 4-timer.”

    Monarch junior Vince Cornella (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

    Monarch junior Vince Cornella also took another step toward a historic fourth individual title. Cornella, who has verbally committed to Cornell University back in September, won his third state championship with the win over Romero at 126 pounds.

    It prevented Pomona from winning four individual state titles.

    “It was a tough one,” Cornella said after his 15-0 technical fall. “He (Romero) is a talented young guy. I’m sure I’ll see him again next year. He made me work for it.”

    Cornella underwent shoulder surgery over the summer and was out for six months, but that didn’t slow down the junior who now has a career high school record of 117-9 over three seasons.

    “Everything that he does is laser focused,” said Monarch coach Ezra Paddock, who has never coached a 4-time state champion. “He wants to be the best and really works to be that way. Not only at wrestling, but school, being a teammate and being a friend.”

    Corenella has a number of plans, including wrestling at the national level and a trip to Russia before getting ready for his senior year. Zeroing in on that fourth state title is on his mind.

    “It would mean a lot,” Cornella said. “I’ve been coming to this state tournament since I was a young kid and I’ve got to see my buddies accomplish it — Jacob Greenwood, Andrew Alirez and Cohlton Schultz — I’ve grown up with all those and even some of the guys who are going for it tonight. It would be cool to join them.”

    Grand Junction senior Dawson Collins (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Athletics)

    Brighton junior Kenny Salias (113), Grand Junction senior Dawson Collins (120) and Regis junior Antonio Segura (145) grabbed their second state titles with victories Saturday night.

    Doherty senior Tyson Beauperthuy (170) and Cherokee Trail junior Sam Hart (220) were able to complete their undefeated seasons capped off with state titles. Beauperthuy finished with a perfect 40-0 record and Hart completed a 38-0 mark.

    Columbine captured a pair of individual titles with juniors Jake Forbes (182) and Zach Schraeder (285) combining to go 8-0 as the lone two Rebels to qualifying to state.

    THORNTON — Caroline Bricker already had a state record to her name. But all the freshman really wanted was to help her team capture a state title.

    Little did she know that her win in the 100-yard breaststroke put Cheyenne in a position to do just that. After holding off Rampart in the 400 freestyle relay to cap the night, Cheyenne was a Class 4A girls swimming and diving state champion for the the second time in three years.

    Bricker had just finished up her win in the breaststroke and watched her teammates compete in the relay not knowing where things stood with the team score, but she knew they had to battle.

    “I just went out there and was thinking about my teammates,” she said. “I knew it was going to be close and I knew it was coming down to me or the relay.”

    Cheyenne Mountain finished with 348 points. Two-time defending champion Rampart finished as the runner-up with 340 points.

    In that freestyle relay, Cheyenne Mountain finished in sixth place with a time of three minutes, 38.79 seconds, just over a second faster than the Rams. As sophomore Elizabeth Brower touched the wall, the contingent of Cheyenne Mountain swimmers erupted in celebration. It had been just three years since its last title, but it felt like forever.

    “This felt like a long one coming,” coach Kate Doane said. “The day-in and day-out work for the last couple of years paid tribute to today.

    Cheyenne had to withstand a barrage of top finishes from Rampart including 50 and 100 freestyle wins from Lindsey Immel. Laelle Brovold added a win in the 100 butterfly and the Rams kicked off the night with a win in the 200 medley relay.

    Bricker’s 2:02.03 in the 200 individual medley was good for a state record.

    One of the more impressive swims of the night came in the 500 freestyle as Niwot’s Mary Codevilla blitzed the field, finishing in 4:57.37. The sophomore was two seconds faster in her prelim time and has dreams of doing big things in her last two chances at state.

    “I’d love to get the state record in the 500 free,” she said. “I was so close in prelims and fell short in finals.”

    Monarch’s Katey Lewicki had a shot at setting a state record in the 100 backstroke but fell just sixth-hundredths of a second short.

    It was after that backstroke swim that things got interesting in the team race. Not only did Bricker win the championship heat, but Elizabeth Carrell also won the consolation heat, adding nine team points to the total.

    That race was reflective of the depth that Cheyenne Mountain had that played a big role in the championship win.

    “These girls work so hard in the offseason,” Doane said. “They knew that each person counted.”

    The girls swimming championship is the second team championship for Cheyenne Mountain this year and the 99th team title in school history.
