    Thorn Compton, [email protected]|May 11, 2016

    After finishing off their conference schedule with a 6-1 record, the Niwot High School girls soccer team had three games left on the schedule to try and reach the 10-win mark for the season. Sitting at 9-3 entering the final week of the season, the Cougars had some tough opponents to get through if they wanted to reach that goal. “The goal is always ten wins,” Niwot Head Coach Rob Johnson said. “We tied the league winners and we can have a better record if we finish strong.” They only needed one game to reach that double digit mark, as...

    With three games left on the schedule, the Niwot High School baseball team needed to win out to solidify its chance for postseason play. The Cougars, however, lost their final three games of the season, first to Northridge at home, 9-4 last Tuesday, then to Thompson Valley on Thursday 14-1 and Friday 6-2. Against Northridge, Niwot had as many errors as they had runs scored while they continued to struggle with fielding down the home stretch of the season. Senior Ford Ladd went five innings for t...

    Thorn Compton, [email protected]|May 11, 2016

    After a long and successful season, the Niwot High School girls tennis team had their biggest challenge ahead of them, the class 4A region 5 championships, to qualify for the state tournament. They couldn’t have asked for more momentum heading into the event, riding a six-match winning streak and going 4-0 in conference play, but this two-day event was a different beast. Sophomore Julia Pentz had experienced it before, qualifying at last year’s regionals in her first season on the team, but...

  • Cougar girls track wins northern league

    Thorn Compton, [email protected]|May 11, 2016

    Taking yet another step toward defending their three-time state championship, the Niwot High School girls track team won their division outright in the Northern League Championships last week, placing first out of the 27 teams that competed. They didn’t just compete against their Northern League opponents, however, as the Mile Hi and Tri-Valley leagues also competed in the meet. That didn’t stop the Cougars from taking home their fifth first-place finish on the season and carrying some much...

  • Silver Creek swimming heads into conference championships undefeated

    Thorn Compton, [email protected]|May 11, 2016

    Senior night was really much like every other night that the Silver Creek High School boys swimming team competes, mainly because every time the Raptors compete, they win. Facing Estes Park, currently the number seven team in the state in 4A, the Raptors had no problem continuing their winning ways, winning the meet 127-55. Dominating wins like that are the main reason Silver Creek saw their state ranking shoot up six spots last week, moving from ninth place all the way to third in Class 4A. Hea...
