The Grandview boys are poised for a run at their second straight title, while Stanford commit Riley Stewart and Cherry Creek will be tough to beat on the girls side.
Both teams topped Faust’s Cougars in last week’s Centennial League championships, and there’s a good chance they will do the same this weekend at Jeffco Stadium.
The Wolves have three of the top four 100-meter runners in 5A in Evan Johnson , David Maldonado and Luke Trinrud. Those three, along with Charlie Dick, set the state record in the 4×100-meter relay last weekend, posting a time of 40.59 seconds that shattered Overland’s Colorado mark from 2007 and is currently the 10th-best time in the nation, according to MileSplit.
Grandview and Cherokee Trail are separated by a 10-minute drive in southeast Aurora. Reyes said the programs have pushed each other over the years while emerging as 5A heavyweights. It’s a relationship the coach says is “like wanting to beat your sibling or your twin. You love them, but you want to be the one that wins.”
“It’d be hard to argue that Riley Stewart isn’t the greatest distance runner in the history of the state,” Faust said. “When you talk about them being big favorites, she’s a guaranteed 40 points. She’s going to win every event she’s in.”
