ALAMOSA — The Colorado State Track and Field meet is mere days away and the San Luis Valley will have a pronounced presence at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood. Nine schools qualified athletes for the 2018 meet.

 A number of different teens will be participating in multiple events like Center’s Malyka Medina, who qualified for the 100-meter dash, 200 meter dash and the long jump. Sanford’s Brady Lenz has also earned the right of three different events, competing in the Long, High and Triple Jump events.  

Alamosa’s girls will field two 3-event athletes in Lilly Lavier and Allyssa Romero and look to be a powerful presence entering Jeffco Stadium.
