We are joined today by one of the best high school cross country coaches in the country, Kelly Christensen.Coach Christensen leads Niwot High School in Colorado. They recently won the High School Nike Cross Nationals boy's race in December. The team put together one of the best finishes in NXN history, totaling just 70 points, and emerged as the first boy's team to capture the title in Colorado high school history. Coach Christensen became a school counselor and coach at Niwot in Colorado in 2016, after transitioning from a career in construction management. Coach Christensen earned a bachelor's in psychology from Western State College. During his time at Niwot, the Cross Country program has achieved five girl's state championship titles and two boy's state titles. The boys have crowned four individual state champions and one individual runner-up finish as well.Prior to coaching at Niwot, Christensen served as the head cross country and track coach at Palmer Ridge High School from 2014 - 2016 (achieving two boys' track and field titles and a cross country title).In today's conversation, Coach Kelly takes me through his coaching philosophies, his backstory into coaching, how he emphasizes the importance of balance, the story of how his boys won their first-ever NXN title, how he coaches disappointment, and so much more.This conversation was a true blessing and I hope you take the time to listen to it.

Dave McGuire, Mac as he's known, has been skiing, living and instructing at Crested Butte since he attended Western State College 22 miles down the hill; he knows the mountain and the area very well.  Crested Butte started as a supply town for the coal and silver mines and the ranches in the Gunnison Valley in the late 1800s. The town is small, historic, and a bit eclectic and nestles in the heart of the Rocky Mountains just north of Gunnison Colorado. Amazing restaurants, watering holes and shops of all kinds make the town an attractive landing spot for visitors. The ski area boasts an incredible variety of terrain suitable for every level of skier from beginners to seasoned experts.

Coach David Guy grew up in Seibert, Colorado with a love of sports and competition, and even moved on to Western State College to play football.  Though he didn't initially start on the career path of a teacher/coach, he began to feel a strong tug that ended in him jumping into the career that provided him with the purpose he needed.   His success as a Coach at Simla High School has been noteworthy, but he measures himself more by what he does for his athletes as they prepare to move into adulthood.

From evaluating judges, accrediting law schools, disciplining lawyer speech outside of work, to taking political positions, bar associations play a major role in our profession and in American life. Should bar associations focus just on legal practice? Should they continue to be involved in staking out policy positions? What about the ABA’s role in accrediting law schools?

The mascot for Centennial Middle School is the Braves and the official logo is a Native American man wearing a headdress.   Jenkins elaborated that selecting a new mascot will be a “community effort” over the course of the next 12 months.   He also said that the school mascot is rich in culture, and the community holds tightly to the pride they have in their high school mascot.    So what exactly does the Bill state?   Senate Bill 21-116 bans Native American mascots from publicly funded Colorado schools starting. If schools have agreements with a Native American tribe to use the mascot, then they are allowed to keep the mascot. One example of this is Arapahoe High School in Littleton.   Discussions to change Montrose's mascot have been underway since at least 2002, when a Greeley-based group called for change. Then, in 2015, a similar bill failed in the senate.   But now, with Democratic control in both chambers, the newer version of the ban was passed.   One thing to note is that the elected officials representing Montrose at the capitol voted against the bill.   Governor Jared Polis is expected to sign the bill into law soon. Approximately 24 schools across Colorado will be affected.   To learn more visit us at montrosepress.com.   -   Now, some local history. This week's local history is brought to you by England Fence. England Fence is family owned and operated, and they're ready to help you build your dream fence, archway, gate, or deck. Give them a call at 970-249-4430, or head over to their website englandfence.com. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park contains the deepest and most dramatic section of the canyon. The canyon's name owes itself to the fact that parts of the gorge only receive 33 minutes of sunlight a day.   Native Americans had known the canyon to exist for a long time before the first Europeans saw it.    They are known to have avoided the canyon out of superstition. The first official account of the Black Canyon was provided by Captain John Williams Gunnison in 1853.   -   And finally, before we go we'd like to remember the life of Mardell June Sanburg Sanders. Mardell was born to a pioneer family who arrived in the Montrose area in the 1870s.    Mardell was an adventurous child, who tagged along behind her older siblings. She told stories of how she rode bareback on horses that the family raised for the U.S. Cavalry.    As a child, she attended school in Montrose and graduated from Montrose High School. She then attended Western State College and Mesa College. She married Shirley Sanders in 1953. To this union they had five children.   Her spirit continues in her children, their spouses and her 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.   Mardell was a mother, a rancher and a real estate mogul. She had a unique way of letting a sassy child or animal know they were on the wrong path. She loved animals, loved to drive fast, and loved a good cup of coffee.    She had a great sense of humor and would light up her grandchildren even at the end. She was generous to a fault. Her last wish was for everyone to be kind to each other.   Mardell will be greatly missed. Thank you for taking a moment with us to remember and celebrate her life. -   That's all for today, thank you for listening!

Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Tuesday March 30th, and even though there’s a lot of turmoil right now we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you.   Today - A day in the life of a ski cop.   But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to March 30th, 1923 when The Colorado State Normal School at Gunnison was renamed the Western State College. The change reflected the school’s broadening curriculum. Western State College buildings now boast names of many prominent Coloradans like Otto Mears, David H. Moffat, and Wayne N. Aspinall.   Now, our feature story.   On the ski mountains at Vail and Beaver Creek, the Mountain Patrol program puts skiing police officers alongside safety teams. Reporter Jason Blevins talks with Lucy Haggard about his day on the slopes with a ski cop.   To read more about Colorado’s winter resort industry, go to coloradosun.com.   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   Every Coloradan age 16 and older will be eligible for coronavirus vaccines starting Friday. Governor Jared Polis said Monday he expects an increase in vaccine supply, particularly for the one-dose Johnson and Johnson shot. Every person who wants to get vaccinated will likely be able to do so by the end of May. More than 1.6 million Coloradans have been at least partly vaccinated so far.   A Democrat-led bill in the statehouse would create a dedicated fund for K-12 teacher and staff raises. But even if the bill passes, there won’t be money in the account this year. Rather, the measure is intended to exist as a pressure point on lawmakers for times when districts choose not to use their own money to raise pay. Some educators have been fleeing the industry due to stagnant wages and high pressure in the coronavirus pandemic.   A backcountry guide and newly minted father was one of five people killed in a helicopter crash Saturday in Alaska. Greg Harms, a 52-year-old man from Aspen, was considered a trailblazing heli-skiing guide, and founded a touring company that led trips around the world. Local authorities say the cause of the crash is still unknown. https://coloradosun.com/2021/03/29/greg-harms-alaska-helicopter-crash/    For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Good morning I'm subbing in today! Welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's Wednesday March 3rd and we're here with local news, events, announcements, and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.     Today -- Starting this Friday - eligible Montrose County residents will be able to receive the newly approved Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccination.   Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com   Now, our feature story.    Starting on Friday March 5th -- yes this Friday -- eligible Montrose County residents will be able to receive the newly approved Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccination.   Montrose County Public Health has also changed the method for scheduling COVID-19 vaccines. You can now register for an appointment at www.montrosecountyjic.com/vaccination.   The county will also move into Phase 1B.3 of vaccine distribution on Friday. Those who will be eligible include people 60 and older; frontline essential agricultural and grocery store workers; and people 16 - 59 with two or more high risk conditions.   Those in the earlier phases remain eligible for vaccination appointments.   The first public-facing clinic with the Johnson & Johnson vaccination will have a goal to administer 1,000 doses.   Montrose County officials say the new registration should certainly ease the communication process.   Commissioner Sue Hansen said that this means that they have at least made one or more contact with everyone on the pre-registration list who is eligible.   More providers have also signed up to administer the vaccine according to Public Health Director Jim Austin.   Austin said that community members now have the option to receive a vaccination at over 10 different locations including doctor's offices and pharmacies that offer flexible schedules and trusted medical expertise. Second dose clinics have priority at this time, and additional first doses are added as space is available. Please keep in mind that plans may change week-to-week as the county receives allocations on a weekly basis from the state of Colorado.   To stay up to date on all coronavirus related news visit us at montrosepress.com Next, We'd like to recognize Mariah Garcia of the OHS girls basketball team. For the most part, the Pirates have dominated or kept neck-and-neck with their opponents this season.   Senior Mariah Garcia has been a key part of the success. Her coach says that she's a person that just loves basketball, loves the game. She's very athletic, and her desire on the floor really shows through. Coach also praised her attitude on the floor. -   Finally, we'd like to take a moment today to remember the life  Raymond Albert Markey. Ray was born in Montrose and attended school in Ouray, graduating from Ouray High School in 1967. After his military service and traveling the country for work, Ray always chose to return home.   Ray enjoyed life. He was one of those people who could get along with anyone, and fit into any group in which he joined. In high school he was an outstanding athlete and played on the High School baseball and basketball teams. He was voted“Most Athletic” and had perfect attendance. His high school friends, to this day, will recall Ray and his old green pickup that was often one of the few vehicles among those friends that was in running condition.   In 1968, Ray joined the US Army. He often joked that, when he joined, he was asked to list his interests. He said he wrote down “mechanics,” hoping to be assigned to a motor pool job, but they could not read his writing and he ended up in “medics.” Regardless, he proudly served his country. He served in Germany and was awarded the Good Conduct Medal and the National Defense Medal. He achieved sharpshooter status and received a coveted Good Driver's Award.   Ray attended Western State College prior to joining the army. He worked in the mining industry for years and developed many friends while selling the latest in mining equipment.    Ray's love of sports did not leave him when he left high school. He and best friend coached several Little League baseball teams, often paying for equipment from his own pocket.  He was also an avid bowler, which came naturally considering his very first job was setting pins at the Elks Lodge bowling alleys. He became a member of the Ouray Elks Lodge #492 in March of 1977 and remained a loyal member until his death. Ray also served as a member of the Volunteer Fire Department for more than 30 years and helped with the Fourth of July Celebration. Ray's friends will always remember him as loving life. He enjoyed dancing, especially a good polka. He enjoyed the outdoors and went fishing whenever he could and was at his happiest when those trips included grandchildren. He also liked to make wine and became known around town for his lavender products. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends and everyone who knew him. Thank you for taking a moment today to remember and celebrate Ray's life. That's all for today, thank you for listening! For more information on any of these stories visit us at montrosepress.com.

Good morning and welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's MondayMarch 1st and we're here to bring you a closer look at our top stories, events and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.  Today -  If passed Senate Bill 21-116 would require all schools with Native American mascots, including some Montrose schools, to change the mascots…. and if they don't, a monthly $25,000 fine would be imposed.  Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com Now, our feature story. After 81 years, the Washington professional football team dropped “Redskins” from the franchise's name after more than a decade of scrutiny. The Cleveland Indians baseball team also dropped their name after 100 years. Those same types of conversations are now taking place at the amateur level across Colorado school districts after lawmakers proposed a bill to ban use of Native American mascots by public schools, charter schools and universities.  Senate Bill 21-116 says the use of such imagery as mascots creates an unsafe learning environment , impacting students' mental health and promoting bullying. If passed, the bill would require all schools with Native American mascots, including some Montrose schools, to change the mascots. If they don't,  a monthly $25,000 fine would be imposed.  Locally, the Montrose High School Indians and the Centennial Middle School Braves would likely be affected by this legislation. MCSD Public Information Officer Matt Jenkins said that MHS hopes to foster stronger relationships with the tribes and honor their heritage through use of the high school mascot.  And the student council is reaching out to the tribes to seek their perspectives. If and when the legislation concerning Native American mascots changes, Jenkins said MCSD will adjust accordingly. The sponsors of the bill aim to retire all American Indian mascots in the state, hoping the action will provide another step toward justice and healing to the descendants of the survivors of the Sand Creek Massacre. State Senator Don Coram, a Montrose Republican and an MHS Indians alumnus, views the mascot as a way to honor the Native American heritage in the area. He said quote “I am a Montrose Indian graduate and support the name because in our community, it's used as honor and respect”  Visit NABUR.montrosepress.com. And before we go,  we'd like to take a moment today to remember the life of Granvill Gage. He was born in Montrose in 1939, and grew up here. He met the love of his life Gloria Smidt in Montrose and they were married in 1959.  He also received his undergraduate and master's degree from the Western State College of Colorado in Gunnison and served in the Army National Guard while attending College. His daughter Shelley was born in 1964 and his son Kevin in 1968. Although he had a love for the state of Colorado, he moved the family to Hawthorne, Nevada in 1974 when he was offered the principal's position. He became one of the community organizers in Hawthorne and continued to grow with the Mineral County School District. He had a way of inspiring all students, he knew all of them by name, and was often seen at school events supporting students and parents. Gage retired as the Mineral County school superintendent in 1999. His philosophy in education was “if you expect the most from a child you will always get their best.” Granvill led with a quiet strength and presence, supporting his family and community. He had a love for the great outdoors and on weekends and vacations he would be hunting, fishing, and enjoying family time outdoors. He loved his time with his friends and the entire family knew not to interrupt his daily “garage time” with his buddies. He will be greatly missed by his family, and everyone who knew him. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Granvill's life. That's all for today, thank you for listening!

Welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's FridayFebruary 19th, and we're here with local news, events, announcements, jobs, and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.  Today - With larger and larger shipments of the coronavirus vaccine, Montrose County now administers thousands per week. Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at www.elevateinternet.com. Now, our feature story... Montrose County has gone from being neglected in terms of the COVID-19 vaccine supply - to now receiving larger and larger shipments.  We went from being able to administer a few hundred vaccines during the first weeks in January, to nearly 3,000 over the course of just three days last week. Montrose County Media Relations Manager Katie Yergensen talked about the change in pace on  Tuesday during a League of Women update. Yergensen is also the county's co-lead on vaccination logistics. Here's what she had to say: Vaccine supplies come from the county via the state, which in turn receives allocations from the federal government. In addition to public health, about 10 community based providers also receive vaccine doses from the government, as do some senior care facilities. Thanks to continued advocacy by commissioners and state legislators, Montrose County has been receiving larger shipments than back in January. Last week, the county and partners kept long lines flowing steadily. The county is even consulting with a home health care company to help identify housebound individuals in need of the vaccine. The increasing supplies are cutting down the county's wait list, which at one point was about 6,500 strong. But as more community-based providers like medical practices and pharmacies come online, vaccines could outpace demand within a month according to Dr. Joe Adragna - the Montrose County pandemic specialist.  That would free up county employees who have been pulled away from other duties.  Adragna also recently addressed some of the prevalent myths circulating about the vaccine. He said some people are very concerned that getting it implants them with a nano-chip for tracking. Not only is that “just not true,” but believing it requires a lot of faith in a government that initially could not assemble enough protective gear at the start of the pandemic. Adragna said that of the 52 million doses administered nationally, as many as 5% might not have had an immune response — but the vaccine is, at present, the best weapon. Over the past two days the county estimated vaccinating around 2,000 people, including some in Phase 1B2, which includes people between the ages of 65 and 69 as well as school district employees. For information about the vaccine priority phases and to see about pre registration, visit montrosecountyjic.com.  Now, some local history. This week's local history is brought to you by England Fence. England Fence is family owned and operated, and they're ready to help you build your dream fence, archway, gate, or deck.

Born in 1896 in Montrose Keplar Barth Johnson was an American architect and a member of the American Institute of Architects. From 1937 to 1962, he was the Region 5 Architect for the U.S. Forest Service. In 1945, he designed an experimental and innovative lookout tower on La Cumbre Peak in the Los Padres National Forest.  And finally, before we go we'd like to take a moment to remember the life of  Sheryl Lynn Starbuck. Sheryl was born in Montrose, and grew up in Olathe, graduating from Olathe high school in 1968. After high school, Sheryl made her way to Gunnison where she attended Western State College and met her future husband, Harvey Starbuck. They married in 1972 and, in 1973, welcomed their first child. For the next seven years She worked for the post office in Carbondale. Her work for the post office continued when they moved to Montrose and welcomed their second child. While in Montrose, Sheryl and Harvey adopted two children from Seoul, Korea. And in 1995, Sheryl's next adventure began as she and Harvey opened the Mountain Valley Coffeeshop on Main Street. She eventually made the decision to sell the business and, at the age of 45, went back to college. Sheryl became a counselor, and she spent the remainder of her career working with children at Hilltop in Montrose, and also in schools on military bases, domestic and abroad. Sheryl worked in Germany and England but most enjoyed her time in Japan. She loved spending time in the sunshine, tending to her flower garden and her beehives, listening to Willie Nelson, morning walks with friends, and most of all, being with her family.  She will be greatly missed. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Sheryl's life. That's all for today, thank you for listening!

Recent reports indicate as many as 85% of Americans don’t have access to justice. While many factors contribute to this problem, the one thing that shouldn’t be standing in the way is the legal industry itself. The Task Force on Access Through Innovation of Legal Services (ATILS) is reviewing existing regulatory frameworks, such as ethics rules regarding the unauthorized practice of law and the sharing of legal fees, as well as exploring the opportunities afforded by new technologies to see what changes could be made to provide higher quality and more accessible legal services to millions of underserved Americans.

  David Scheefer grew up in the shadows of the Olympic venues of Lake Placid, New York. Not surprisingly, that meant that he participated in all types of winter sports, including nordic skiing, alpine skiing, skating, bobsled, and if you were a kid in Lake Placed and had the guts, you could even do the Nordic ski jump. David attended Western State College (as it was then known) in Gunnison, and never left.  He spent much of his time living in the Quartz creek town of Ohio City, which had a famous high-end restaurant at one time where David worked.  (Quartz creek is located Northeast of Gunnison and also includes the town of Pitkin). He built his own cabin there, which led to a career as a craftsman.  One of his projects was building several buildings at the beautiful Castleton Ranch in Ohio Creek, North of Gunnison. He was also one of the early pioneers of backcountry skiing in the area.  At the time, the gear consisted of leather boots and skinny skis, though he wasn't introduced to the telemark turn until later in his ski career.  Many of the local peaks were first descended by David- possibly including the iconic East face of Gothic Mountain, which is visible from Crested Butte Mountain Resort and the Gold Link and Prospect neighborhoods.

  Ciera Freson was recruited out of her home state of Washington to ski race at Western State College (at is was then known).  While she hadn't even visited Gunnison before arriving for her first fall semester, she quickly fell in love with the school and the area.  After graduation, Ciera stayed on at Western State in the admissions department, recruiting other students to her alma mater.  Ski racing remained in her blood, however, so today she is the coach of the alpine racing program at Western Colorado University (as it is now known). After she married her husband Eric, she realized that she had a real passion for weddings and decided to start a wedding planning business.  That business, Lucky Penny Events, grew quickly and now also includes a rental business.  Weddings in Crested Butte are extremely popular, with several weddings nearly every weekend throughout the summer and fall months.  Ciera gets to plan them, which sounds like a ton of fun when you realize that can include everything up to and including unicorn ponies.  Yes, you read that right, and you'll have to listen to find out what that means...

Sean Crossen grew up on the East Coast as a ski racer.  After graduating from Green Mountain Valley School in Vermont, Sean made his way to Gunnison to attend Western State College (as it was then known).  Sean quit racing, but continued to ski and entered some of the first US Extreme Skiing Championships in the early 90's.  By the early 2000's, Sean became an early pioneer of skiing Colorado's "Fourteeners", the 54 peaks that stand over 14,000' tall.   Sean used his art degree and had an art studio for a short time, though the majority of his income these days comes from painting houses.  Recently, he built his own house in the Larkspur neighborhood- and we talk about that process in the interview. The bulk of this interview, however, revolves around an avalanche accident that took place on February 3rd, 2017 outside Gothic, CO.  This was a close call, and Sean discusses the events leading up to the avalanche, what he remembers while he was caught in the avalanche, and the subsequent rescue that took place.  Even if you aren't a backcountry skier, there are lessons to be learned about first aid, search and rescue, and more.  A special thanks to Sean for recounting his story in such detail.

Pretty full plate of college wrestling action going down on Saturday, but first, my oldest Lucy still isn’t feeling good, but my wife survived her 20+ hour trip back to the U.S. from Singapore just in time to make dinner. I’m actually kidding. We picked up dinner on the way home from the airport and I do most of the cooking because I have the job that has the home office. She’s also like, super awesome at her job. With the homestead back to normal, save the kiddo being sick, I’d like to welcome you to Short Time Shots, a semi-daily podcast aimed at giving you, the wrestling fan, all you need to know about the night’s (or previous day’s) wrestling news in a short, somewhat funny, or not, format. I’m Jason Bryant and I’ve skipped over the Octoberfests and I’ve gone right to the porters and stouts! There were 24 duals in Division I on Saturday with most of them taking place in the Capital Region of New York where Mr. Awesome Frank Popolizio hosted the Journeymen MyHouse Northeast Duals. We saw a lot of good individual action and a few upsets, but the biggest one team-wise came as Utah Valley knocked off No. 15 Rutgers 24-14. Rutgers jumped out to a big lead early, with a pair of major decisions at 125 and 133. After Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay picked up a fall at 141, Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault matched it with a fall of his own at 149, giving Rutgers a 14-4 lead after four matches. Now, say it in your Red Dawn voice, the WOLVERINES, reeled off six straight wins to close things out, the biggest likely being Grant LaMont’s 9-6 win over John Van Brill at 157 pounds. Tanner Orndorff’s 9-2 win over Matthew Correnti sealed the deal after 197. Utah Valley did fight pretty hard earlier in the day, and that’s just not one of those cliché headlines when a team gets blown out. Yes, we saw a few of those already with teams “fighting hard” in a 48-3 loss or something like that. Yeah, you actually didn’t. You know who did, though? Utah Valley. No. 12 Nebraska, which was favored by like 19.5 points according to that one online sportsbook that’s now throwing out wrestling lines, needed a crucial win at 197 pounds by Eric Schultz to avoid the upset. Even without Zeke Moisey for that dual, the Huskers held on 19-15. No. 12 Nebraska went 3-0 on the day, also picking up a 28-9 win over Drexel and a 21-15 win over Virginia. No, we didn’t see Louie Hayes vs. Zeke Moisey. Moisey wrestled one match on the day, one where he had to do everything he could to beat Drexel freshman Antonio Mininno 8-7. Elsewhere in Troy, Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay and Virginia’s Sam Krivus both beat Nebraska All-American Chad Red on the day. Another Husker, Isaiah White, had a rough day as well. The former Division II national champion fell to Ebed Jarrell of Drexel and Demetrius Romero of Utah Valley. No. 17 Purdue went 2-0, blasting Bloomsburg 35-5 and Drexel 25-14. No. 21 Wyoming beat Edinboro 33-6 and Virginia 21-9. I’m going to give Johnny Clark some time here. Sacred Heart is no stranger to this show. I had their old coach Andy Lausier on the show on two different occasions, but he’s now at Davidson and Clark is running the show. On Saturday in Troy, Sacred Heart won two duals, which was the exact amount they won last year. They won two duals against Division I opposition, which has only happened sparingly since former coach Andy Seras left, like 10+ years ago. And not only did they win two duals against D1 competition, they did it in the same DAY. Now the internet archive kinda sucks when trying to pull up database-drive sites like the old InterMat from 10 years ago, but the most likely scenario that saw Sacred Heart ever win two Division I duals in one day was when Seras was coaching them and the Pioneers were in the CAA. It was also Sacred Heart’s first Division I win in the last eight years over a team not named Bloomsburg, Davidson or VMI. While Sacred Heart did also beat Bloomsburg on Saturday, the win I’m talking about here is the 24-22 win over The Citadel. Three things you LIKELY didn’t know about Sacred Heart - it’s program started in 1999, it’s in Fairfield, Connecticut and it’s the only Catholic university with a Division I wrestling program. While we’re talking about religious schools doing cool things … Cal Baptist is in its first year transitioning from Division II to Division I, which means the Lancers are in a bit of a no-man’s land when it comes to postseason competition. Coach Lennie Zalesky’s squad earned its first win as a Division I program over a Division I program on Saturday with a 28-10 win over Cal Poly. So I found myself watching the closing bouts of Western Colorado’s 18-17 win over Nebraska-Kearney. I love small college wrestling because of the cool, wacky things that go on. So Western Colorado was formerly known as Western State College, then it became Western State Colorado University, if for nothing more than to keep all the merchandise that said WSC relevant. I guess that old gear ran out and the board of visitors said, ok, we’re Western Colorado University now. A fall by Konnor Schmidt at 197 pounds gave Western Colorado a four-point lead heading into heavyweight and Kearney’s Jarrod Hinrichs did everything he could to score bonus points to try to send the dual to criteria or win outright, but came up just short 10-3, which clinched the dual for the Mountaineers. This was under a mat lamp, there were dudes with their chests painted hoopin’ and hollerin’ around the mat. It was a wild atmosphere. By the way, Western Colorado holds the distinction of being the highest school in college sports - NO, I don’t mean that kind of high with the laws in Colorado, I mean the altitude. Gunnison, Colorado sits 7,700 feet above sea-level. The University of Wyoming holds that distinction in Division I, at just over 7,200 feet. Yes, I was a geography nerd as a kid. The last time Clackamas Community College tasted defeat came back in 2015 when Division I Oregon State topped the Cougars. And this narrative of winning streaks will continue as Clackamas won its 40th straight dual, topping NAIA Eastern Oregon 34-10 on Saturday. The Clackamas win streak is the nation’s third longest in any division, behind NAIA Grand View, which has won 64 dual meets in a row dating back to November 7, 2014 when the Vikings were narrowly defeated by Iowa State, yes, THAT Iowa State 22-18. In case you’re wondering, Penn State’s streak is second behind Grand View at 45 and counting. In Division III, Springfield won the City Championship, beating the other three college wrestling teams in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Pride beat Western New England 24-17, American International 45-8 and Springfield Tech 45-6. Now to some notable tournament nuggets. The first one we’ll go with will be out in Fargo, where Mike Quamme is still likely buying beers at the Bison Turf. Don’t know Quamme? Ask Chris Willaert about their trip to Rio … oh wait, that’s right, Willaert wasn’t there. Quamme was one of the dudes who was with me and Julia Salata when we were all over Olympic Late Night with Ryan Seacrest. He’s also an NDSU alum. Oh yeah, NDSU. Gable Steveson, wrestling unattached, won the Bison Open beating 2017 All-American Tanner Hall of Arizona State 3-1 in sudden victory in the finals. Minnesota beat Air Force 33-3 in Colorado Springs on Friday night, so as of this moment, Steveson’s on redshirt. How long he stays there remains to be seen. Anything else notable? Well, other than Lee Pritts reminding me where he taught me how to play blackjack on Friday night, nah, not really. Returning national champion Zahid Valencia won at 174 pounds, picking up three falls and spending 4:48 on the mat all tournament. In Des Moines at the Grand View Open, it was mostly a redshirting freshman showcase as titles were won by Nebraska’s Alex Thomson, Iowa State’s David Carr, and Iowa’s duo of Nelson Brands and Anthony Cassioppi. At the Kaufman-Brand in St. Louis, Missouri’s Brock Mauller won again. Everytime this kid wins a tournament, he’s going to get into Short Time Shots. It could be the Afton Quadrangular, I don’t care. I want more Brock Mauller. At the Northern Colorado Open, Aaron Brooks won again. What’s also interesting about that tournament is Northern Colorado’s Rico Montoya, an NCAA qualifier last season at 133, won at 125 pounds. Johnson & Wales had five champions and scored 153.5 points to win the Roger Williams Invitational up in Bristol, Rhode Island. One thing some of you folks don’t know about is how active and competitive Division III is. Johnson & Wales’ returning national champion Jay Albis, who saw both positive and negative comments from fans after first-period tech fall against a Division I opponent last week, well, he was upended 6-4 by Southern Maine’s Peter Del Gallo in overtime in the finals at 125. Not to bring up Albis’ loss in a negative light, but seriously folks, if you would just GO to a Division III tournament and start following it as a whole, you’ll see the competitiveness there is among some of the best … in the WORLD. I announce the biggest and best tournaments the world has to offer and TRUST ME, the Division III championships is one of the most fun tournaments on the planet. UNSCRIPTED DIVISION III RANT JWU champs were Jordan Robinson at 133, Gabe McDaniel at 141, Da’Mani Burns at 149, Khamri Thomas at 184 and Michael DiNardo at 197. North Central won the Trine Invitational, outdistancing second-place Olivet 149.5 to 127. In California, West Hills College edged Bakersfield College 158.5-158 to win the Southeast Wrestling Alliance Conference. That’s in the California Community College league. They wrestle a fall semester only. West Hills had three champs. Bakersfield, the RENEGADES, had four. Not much on the women’s side to report, other than Emmanuel beat King and the University of the Cumberlands in dual meet competition. As always, all these scores and more available at the nation’s most comprehensive college wrest

  Johnny Biggers moved to Gunnison to attend Western State College in 1979.  (The college has since been renamed Western Colorado University)  What makes his story unique is that he grew up halfway across the world in Australia, but his love of skiing, along with a magazine article, brought him to the mountains of Colorado.  After his plane landed, the first thing he did was hitchhike up to Crested Butte to see the ski area, which he has now called home for nearly 40 years.  Johnny quickly realized that the ski patrol got to ski a lot- so he started patrolling while he was still in college.  In this episode, we discuss the early days of his patrol career, which spanned openings of the "extreme" terrain that Crested Butte is now known for- the headwall, Phoenix and Spellbound bowls, and the frontside runs like Banana and Funnel.  Johnny is still one of the most passionate skiers you'll find- though he no longer patrols, he still skis more than most, not to mention water skiing in the summers.  Johnny has a lot of stories, so you're sure to enjoy this episode of the Crested Butte is Home podcast.   To learn more about Johnny Biggers and his construction company, Crested Butte Builders, visit his website or his company Facebook page: Crested Butte Builders Crested Butte Builders Facebook Page

Ben Pritchett grew up, well, everywhere.  Somehow, he still developed a love of outdorr sports like mountain biking and skiing.  Eventually finding himself in the Gunnison Valley, Ben attended Western State College (now known as Western Colorado University). One day, he decided he should stay home and study rather than go backcountry skiing with his friends. Sadly, his friends had a fatal avalanche accident that day, which sent Ben down a path of learning as much as he could about avalanches. Ben began working with the local Crested Butte Avalanche Center (CBAC), then switched to the statewide Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC). Since then, he went back to the CBAC last year to run the organization but is now once again with the CAIC as the forecaster for the Crested Butte and Sawatch range zones. While the snow hasn't quite begun to accumulate, it will soon.  It's always a good time to start thinking about the snowpack, so enjoy this episode of the Crested Butte is Home podcast with Ben Pritchett.

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Saturday night’s scores and more here on Short Time Shots, I’m your host Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant and baby, it’s cold outside. Anyone ever actually listen to the lyrics of that song? This day and age, conduct like that would get you fired and tarred and feathered on social media. What the heck is that guy’s problem? Anyway … cliché warnings are walking around this winter wonderland tonight. It was hardly a silent night in college wrestling as one of the nation’s best tournaments, the Midwest Classic, completed its first day of action. I’ve always said there’s more to college wrestling than just the Division I teams and the Midwest Classic is a stellar event. Some might put it as say the Midlands or Southern Scuffle of Division II, despite there’s more than just Division II teams competing. Anyway, we’ll ring-a-ling, hear them ring right into the semifinals as UW-Parkside leads the field after the first day of competition with 68 points, followed by Findlay with 59.5, McKendree with 57.5 and Ashland with 57. Central Oklahoma isn’t far behind with 54. What’s astounding about this is there are 22 different schools represented in the semifinals out of the 30 teams in the field. Parkside and Findlay each have five, while Ashland has four. Central Oklahoma and Maryville have three each. You might remember Maleek Williams of Upper Iowa. Two years ago, he had a stroke ... and then later qualified for the NCAA Division II championships. Yes, the same season. Crazy. Anyway, he's into the semifinals for Upper Iowa where he'll face Sebastian Vidika of Ashland. Upsets disrupted things down low as ninth-ranked Carlos Jacquez will face freshman Joe Arroyo of Parkside in the bottom bracket semi. At 133, top-ranked Dustin Kirk of King moved into the semis where he'll face Darius Bunch of West Liberty. Ninth-ranked Arik Furseth of Parkside will face Mary's Tate Barnhardt in the semis. Barnhardt knocked off seventh-ranked Naquan Hardy of McKendree 8-7 in the quarterfinals. A pair of ranked wrestlers meet in the top bracket at 141. Darren Wynn of McKendree, ranked No. 1 in Division II will face Maryville's Will Roark, whom some of you may remember from Fargo. Roark is ranked No. 9 in Division II. Down low, Robert Mason of Ashland faces third-ranked Brandon Ball of Fort Hays State in the semifinals. Parkside's Frank Yattoni knocked off second-ranked and top-seed Rudy Guillen of Mary in the quarterfinals 2-0 at 149 pounds Down low, Will Steltzen picked off fifth-ranked Logan Grass of Mercyhurst in the quarters. Steltzen will face second-seeded but top-ranked James Krischke of Maryville in the semifinals. Wild weight class there. Shakeups were also around at 157 where Ryne Cokely, yes, THAT Ryne Cokely of Fort Hays State pinned third-ranked Ryan Strope of McKendree in the second round, but then fell to Parkside's 12th-ranked Pernevlon Sheppard in the quarterfinals. Sheppard will face unraked Austin Palmer of Newberry. Palmer beat fifth-ranked Heath Lange of Indianapolis 10-6 in the quarters. Up top, seventh-ranked Byran Dutton of Central Oklahoma will face NAIA runner-up Cam Tessari of Lindsey Wilson -- yes, THAT Cam Tessari. Top semifinal will come in the bottom bracket at 165 as fourth-ranked Alonzo Turner of Findlay will face off with Lake Erie's Nick Vandermeer. Third-ranked Bret Romanzak of Ashland is up top facing off with Seton Hill's Zach Voytek. Parkside's Nick Becker -- yes, another Becker still at Parkside -- is up top facing Nathan Vandermeer of Findlay, while down low, unheralded Miaden Vasilev of Maryville rolled into the semifinals beating two ranked foes, including sixth-ranked Brandon Supernaw of Western State Colorado. Yes, the full name of the school is now Western State Colorado University, not Western State College. Vasilev will try to take out his third straight ranked opponent -- fourth-ranked Nick Foster of McKendree in the semis at 174. Lake Erie's Tyler Hughes and Findlay's Brad Metz will meet in the bottom bracket at 184 pounds. Both are ranked in the top eight in the country. At 197 pounds, Limestone's fourth-ranked Matt Rudy will face seventh-ranked Wes Phipps of Mercyhurst in the top bracket semifinal, while 11th-ranked Konnor Schmidt of Western State Colorado will matchup with unseeded Armani Robinson of Findlay. Second ranked Logan Hopp was injured in his second round bout and was forced to default out of the tournament. That left ninth-ranked Mimmo Lyttle of Findlay to face off with Dalton Weidl of Newman in the top bracket semifinal. Indianapolis, the hosts of the event, gets its lone semifinalist with eight-ranked Dylan Falkenberg. He'll face fourth-ranked Caleb Cotter in the semifinals. This one's streamed live on Trackwrestling and it's one helluva tournament. The dual meet side of things had a very shiny nose, too. Ok, that … was not amusing. Lock Haven improved to 4-0 after picking up three wins in the Bald Eagle Duals in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The 22nd-ranked Bald Eagles cruised past Division II Wheeling Jesuit 32-11 and Division III Messiah 34-6 before dispatching with EWL rival Bloomsburg 37-2 in the nightcap. Ronnie Perry knows when you’ve been sleeping, he scored three technical falls while Chance Marsteller, who knows when you’re awake, picked up a fall and two techs. Central Michigan opened up its MAC schedule with a ho-hum 34-6 win over Northern Illinois on Saturday night. The 23rd-ranked Chippewas earned five bonus victories en route to the win. Heavyweight Matt Stencel scored a fall in 36 seconds for CMU. Cold never bothered him anyway. A pair of old EWL wrestling foes tangled on Saturday with Clarion upending Pittsburgh 24-20. Trailing 14-9 with four matches left, Clarion went big with back-to-back falls by Dominic Rigous and Greg Bulsak put Clarion in position to win. Dustin Conti rocked the corncob pipe and button nose on the way to a tiebreaker victory over transfer Kellan Stout was the clincher. No. 1 Johnson & Wales went over the river and through the woods to New York and smacked around a pair of junior colleges with both the A and B teams. The Wildcats beat Nassau 36-9 and Camden County 46-6. Gator Boots Duals Nashville Sleigh bells ring, are you listening Loras College? The fourth-ranked Duhawks improved to 7-0 on the season with three wins at the Gator Boots Duals in Nashville, take me to another place, Tennessee. Wait a minute, Tennessee isn’t a Christmas song. Anyway, Coach T.J. Miller’s team outlasted eight-ranked Baldwin Wallace 18-13 and also picked up another top-ten win, beating No. 9 Ferrum 34-7. Loras’ Jimmy Davis rocked around the Christmas tree, topping nationally ranked Collin Saunders at 149 pounds. In other action down there, Luther, which serves as the host of the event, went 4-0 beating Lakeland, Huntingdon, UW-Oshkosh and the University of the Ozarks. Wheaton swept the Jim Fox Duals in Dubuque beating host Dubuque, Concordia -- of Wisconsin -- and Nebraska Wesleyan. I came across a roadkill dear … and that’s all I’ve got for Saturday, December 16.   The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

It’s about that time of year again where law students brush off the summer days and head back to school. In this very special "Back to School" edition of Lawyer2Lawyer, co-host and attorney, Craig Williams, chats with law students Daren Gottlieb from Western State College of Law in Fullerton, California and Han Fang from New England Law Boston, about why they chose law school, top concerns, personal goals, jobs, competition and next steps after graduation.
