    The Niwot girls tennis team keeps setting them up and knocking them all down.

On Monday April 10 and Tuesday April 11, at Centaurus and Mountain View, respectively, the Cougars steamrolled their way to consecutive 7-0 victories, losing only 11 games total in the process. After a day off, Niwot traveled just down the road to m...

    Of the many strange and wondrous things that have happened so far in 2017, the March weather in Colorado deserves a prominent place in the conversation. For the first time in living memory, the unusually warm, dry conditions meant the local high school sports teams enjoyed an early-spring schedule blessedly free of weather-related cancellations and postponements.

For senior forward Meghan Jeske, who scored her second goal of the season in the game’s 17th minute, the lopsided win was especially gratifying after Thursday’s unexpected 2-1 loss to Centaurus. “It was a really big win, because we were able to come back from the other day,” she said. “I just felt like we were working t...

    The Boulder County Championship meet has been a mid-April fixture on the calendar of local track and field teams for more than four decades, but no team has made its presence felt there more than the Niwot girls. At this year’s event, held April 15 at Everly-Montgomery Field, the Cougars stormed to their eighth straight BoCo title, winning nine individual events and scoring 172 team points, nearly double that of second-place Broomfield (94). In a season already filled with personal bests and m...
