Rejuvenated Fort Collins wins again, Fairview falls for 2nd straight week!
The 2006 Cherry Creek Invitational lived up to all the excitement we expected, Fort Collins boys and girls swept the Boys and Girls Varsity races but the scores were close as expected. Fort Collins strolled into Cherry Creek as defending State and Meet Champions but was an unknown this year after losing many of their varsity from last years team. This did not stop Fort Collins from defeating Cheyenne Central, SW#6 Dakota Ridge, SW#2 Cherry Creek, or a dominant Wheat Ridge team.
Led by Bryant Mason (16:10) and Will Everett (16:15) the Fort Collins boys scored 110 points. That dark horse team I was talking about, Cheyenne Central, Wyoming; yeah, they finished second with 133 points and showed that they truly are a top ranked team. SW#6 Dakota Ridge improved a few slots from last week‚s performance at Harrison by finishing third with 136 points followed by Cherry Creek in fourth with 144 points.
Cheyenne Central traveled a great distance just to see if they were as good as they thought they could be, if an opening season beat down over a tough Campbell County team was not good enough they strolled into Cherry Creek and cleaned house. It would seem as of now that Wyoming has once again produced a top notch team, and that Cheyenne Central is on the war path. As the season progresses look for this teams pack to tighten and their victories to mount, by seasons end Cheyenne Central may be the team to beat.
Cherry Creek still trying to get into form has struggled pulling their fourth & fifth runners together. But the season is young and with continued improvement as they have shown over the past few weeks they will be a team to rival the rejuvenated Fort Collins team and legitimize a high pre-season NTN ranking and expectations. Results from Glenn McCarthy Temp ~60, drizzled early, but did not rain duringvarsity events.
