Though there are many deserving young men and women who have made a name for themselves in Moffat County High School’s sports venues and classrooms, there can be only two seniors who end their four years by picking up the top honors as part of the annual Lewis “Dude” Dent Memorial Award ceremony.
The yearly celebration of high school students excelling in academics and athletics alike took place Monday evening at the Center of Craig, with a full banquet, speeches, trophies and more to acknowledge multi-talented teens.
The namesake of the Dude Dent award was a storied football, basketball and track athlete at Craig High School who graduated in 1939 and promptly went to the next level of sports success by achieving All-Conference honors in the Big 7 at Colorado A&M now Colorado State University and later named the best all-around athlete in the Mountain States Conference.

When you tell Moffat County High School track and field stars they have to wait to compete, you just know the delayed outcome will be no less successful.
MCHS athletes brought their speed, strength and springiness to win among both boys and girls teams at the Clint Wells Invitational on Friday, a home meet that was a long time coming as the track program got its first event in nearly two years underway.
