LAKEWOOD It’s been 27 years since Garfield County has had a Colorado state track and field title to call its own.
On Saturday, that drought came to an end with the Coal Ridge High School girls track team hoisting the 3A championship trophy high above their heads for everyone to see as they were crowned state champs.
Head coach Ben Kirk said the possibility of the girls winning the title occurred to the coaches about a month ago.
