This past weekend was the Girls 4A State Tennis Tournament, and the Niwot High School girls tennis team had high hopes for the five competitors who qualified. Sophomores Julia Pentz and Taylor Thulson and freshman Rachel Drake all won their regional tournaments for one, two and three singles, respectively. Senior Emma Lerner and junior Amanda Duquette qualified by placing second in the regionals at the one doubles spot. The tournament kicked off last Thursday, and all three singles competitors managed to win their first round matches, while...
Not many people outside of the dugout expected the 7-12 Niwot High School baseball team to compete with the 18-1 Denver North Vikings in their playoff game last Saturday, much less defeat them. Luckily for the Cougars, they weren’t paying attention to what anyone else thought heading into the game. “When we hit batting practice this morning, I knew something was different,” senior starting pitcher Ford Ladd said. “We were relaxed, not thinking we were going to lose. We haven’t had that atmosphere with the team yet this year.” It turns out t...
With one week left before starting the defense of the girls’ state championship, the Niwot High School track teams competed in the St. Vrain Invitational to work out the kinks in their game. While they didn’t do as well as they did when they dominated their division in the Northern League Championships last week, the Cougars still had some great performances on the girls side. Sophomore Mackenzie Fidelak won the 300 meter hurdles for Niwot, while the 4x400 team took home first place for the Cougars as well. Junior Alexis Carroll finished in...
After the first day of preliminary races for the Northern League Championships, Head Coach Debbie Stewart said she was a bit worried about her Silver Creek High School boys swimming team. “In the prelims I was a little nervous,” Stewart said after the completion of the league championship. “We weren’t as shaved down as we could have been and you get a little nervous because everyone else is.” Little did she know her swimmers were just conserving their energy for an all-out blitz in the finals, as the Raptors took home first place in their dis...
Maddy McCambridge, Kelsey Webster and Taylor Sunset, who live within a couple of miles of each other in Gunbarrel, went to state in Class 5A girls golf last year as part of Coach John Zerwin’s Fairview High School squad. They hoped to return this season, but Sunset, a junior, fell sick during the regional tournament, and had to withdraw. As a result, it will be up to McCambridge, a senior, and Webster, a sophomore, will represent the school at state again this year. Webster moved into the No. 1...
Returning to the playoffs after missing the tournament last year, the Niwot High School girls soccer team played a tough game but ultimately lost to D’Evelyn 4-1 last Wednesday. Despite the loss, the girls still gave the season everything they had and should be proud of the 10-6 record for the season. Niwot Head Coach Rob Johnson reiterated that statement after the loss, saying this loss was more on the coaches than the player’s effort. “These girls worked so hard and as coaches it’s our job to...
