Saturday in rainy Portland, Oregon, the state of Colorado reigned supreme. Niwot became the first boys team from Colorado to win Nike Cross Nationals, and the Mountain Vista girls claimed a team title of their own. Junior Hunter Robbie (15 minutes and 52.70 seconds) and senior Keegan Geldean (15:57.80) went sub-16 minutes and Niwot placed four runners inside the top 35 to claim arguably the sport’s most prestigious high school national title. Robbie finished 21st in the field, Geldean 27th, and they were followed in by teammates Quinn Sullivan (16:00.90), Gabriel Marshall (16:04.70), Gavin Engtrakul (16:24.30), Rocco Culpepper (16:31.40) and Ryder Keaton (16:39.90). Senior Keeghan Edwards, who’s committed to run for the Florida Gators, paced Mountain Vista with a fourth-place finish (17:15.2) in the girls race — just ahead of last year’s NXN champion, junior Addy Ritzenhein of Niwot, in fifth (17:15.3). Senior Juliet Frum finished 27th (17:53.9) for Mountain Vista, followed by junior Claire Guiberson (17:57.5) in 32nd and Peyton Adams in 48th (18:24.6).
