In case you are looking for another occasion to run with Angels (or on the side of the angels), here is your chance. As some of you know, the Scudamore family annually organizes a fundraising team to benefit the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. For the fifth year, we are putting a team together to benefit the Coalition at the Holidays 5K. For the past several years we have been the largest team, one of the teams raising the most funds for the coalition, and are the only team that is more than half young people. Many of you are longtime members. We would love to keep building momentum, raise funds to support the Coalition, and increase awareness of the work they do in our community.

The DPS League Championships on Monday produced more than a few highlights for the Angels. First off, thanks to our amazing assembly of volunteers, we hosted a terrific meet for everyone. Thank-you!

The JV boys led things off. Freshman Zakarias Abdulkadir, 5^th, and Jack Rocchio, 7^th, led the boys team to a second place finish in the Open race. They were backed up by the trio of Cole Finley-Ponds, Alex Zonca, and Ballard Kauffman in 10^th, 11^th and 12^th.

Freshman Allanna MacRossie-Smith grabbed the Girls Open Championship with a very strong finish in her race. She was followed by Sara Merman in 2^nd place. A few girls from North would finish next, then an uninterrupted parade of Angels, in places 6^th through 13^th, would storm across the finish line, sealing the Girls Open team championship for East. That dominating group included Maria Crippen, Anna Lucy Buddenhagen, Audrey McGlothlen, Maddie Scholtz, Madeline Solomon, Caroline Ritchie, Anna Clayton and Mackenzie Whitehead-Bust.

Junior Harrison Scudamore defended his DPS League Championship, his third varsity title, running a course record time of 16:36. Rafael Marmalejo-Daher, 4^th, and Asher Hoyt, 6^th, ran their way on to the All-City team with Hoyt finishing as the top freshman of the meet. Kristian Laird, Elijah Bruggeman, Jackson Adams, and Liam Peck finished strong and the boys hung in for 2^nd place. In a hint about the future, had there been a separate freshman boys race, East would have taken 5 of the top 8 places.

Samantha Skeen led the varsity girls with a 6^th place finish and a place on All-City team. Freshman Lindsey Weyant finished in 10^th place, followed by Laurel Kruger (13^th), Emily Turner (15^th) and the closely grouped pack of Nell Salzman, Maisie Moskowitz, and Serene Mather (18^th, 19^th and 20^th) to score a total of 62 points for 3^rd place, behind much improved squads from North and South.

Next up, the Varsity squads will take aim at the Colorada 5A Region 1 meet on Friday, October 21, where qualification for the State Meet will be on the line. The meet is at the Thornton (Margaret Carpenter) Recreation Center at 108^th and Colorado Blvd. The girls race at 3:10pm, the boys at 4:50pm. Come out and support your Angels.

Thanks to everyone who helped to make the City championship a great meet. We have such a fantastic parent community.

We.will post results and other details about the race soon. For now we need help with two things.

1. We need two or three parents to help check in uniforms in the counseling center tomorrow (Weds) from 2:55-3:45. please email ruthspano@aol.com if you can help.

2. We need runners who are not competing in regionals on 10/21 to bring their CLEAN uniforms to the counseling office between 2:55-3:45. You will be billed for missing uniforms so please help us get this done now.

Have a great week!
