Throughout this season, Colton Goucher has ran some impressive times and finished well in fields with much more mature and older runners, yet he has still held his own.

In August 2024, Max Fulton was contemplating a new challenge. He had just finished the Leadville 100, a grueling 100-mile run in the Colorado Rockies, for the 10th time.

Kayla Broecker of Summit High School is our next future star. Though she is only a freshman, she is racing with a lot of poise and experience of a veteran.

Starting something new often feels exciting—the first workout, the first early morning run, the first step toward a goal. But the real challenge begins once that excitement fades.

Runners are notorious for chasing the next starting line, but the real test of discipline often happens in the quiet in-between. That stretch of time after one race and before the next can either build strength or unravel progress.

In last year’s letdown at the state meet, Oliver Horton went out too fast, gassed out and finished a disappointing third. So going into this year’s meet at the Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs, the Coronado headliner vowed to stick to his game plan and not let others dictate his pace.

We are back with another sophomore for our future stars series. This week we are highlighting Micah Sulzen of Rock Canyon High School.

The featured athlete for this week is senior Joel Davis, from Lamar High School. The 3A standout is making his case for a run at the individual state tile this fall. He has come out of the gates strong this fall placing 1st, 1st and 4th in his first three races this season.

Moving back to the Class of 2028 for this week, Maeve Vancik of Arapahoe High School is our next future star! After running 17:52 at Desert Twilight, placing an impressive 7th overall in the sweepstakes division, Vancik is proving to be one of the best runners in all of Colorado, not just for sophomores.
