Frontier Academy senior Isaiah Broce may have been born with half a heart. But, that hasn't stopped him from tackling one of the most demanding of high school sports, distance running.
In total, Schilling reported that 759 District 6 students are enrolled in concurrent enrollment through several post-secondary institutions, including Aims Community College and the University of Northern Colorado.
This past weekend, I returned to the Jefferson County stadium not as a high school distance runner but rather a sports reporter. Upon walking onto the infield to get better access to the athletes, I found my mouth getting dry, palms getting sweaty and butterflies floating into my stomach. I was transported back to 2016, minutes before my own anxiety-inducing race at the state meet.
As a junior for Frontier Academy High School in Greeley, I got the opportunity to compete in the 3200 meter run at the state championship meet. I placed 11th in a time of 10:11, two places off the podium and only a second off my personal best at the time.
