The Cherokee Trail boys repeated as the Class 5A track state champions on Saturday at Jeffco Stadium, blowing away the field with 111 points, nearly double the tally of second-place Mountain Vista.
If recent history is any indication, Cherokee Trail locked up the Class 5A boys team title by winning the 800-meter relay in historic fashion on Friday afternoon at Jeffco Stadium.
Cherokee Trail turned in a state record 3:13.02, helping the Cougars to the Centennial League championship. That mark roasted the previous record, Rangeview's time of 3:14.72 from 2012, by over 1.5 seconds.
