    It was imperative this week that the Niwot High School girls soccer team pull off three straight wins against conference competition, after losing their last conference match against Silver Creek.

    Winning has become a tradition for this Silver Creek High School boys swimming team, so much so that before their meet against Windsor last Thursday they were more focused on breaking pool records than competing against the other team. “It was hard to get my guys in the water,” Head Coach Debbie Stewart said after the match. “They were all looking at the record board to see what they could break.” That wasn’t too much of a leap for the team, considering they did actually break three pool records in route to a 113-72 victory against Wi...
