3 Routt County athletes earn all-state honors
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — There were few post-season appearances from Routt County teams this fall but plenty of all-conference awards.
The Soroco High School girls cross country team traveled as a team to the Colorado High School Athletic Association state cross country meet, while Rams junior Alex Colby was the sole male runner.
Steamboat Springs High School sent one girl and one boy to the state cross country meet in senior Maggie Congdon and junior Jaydon Fryer.
The Soroco volleyball team was the No. 27 seed and traveled to regionals for what was possibly the first time ever. The Rams dropped both games, but senior Morgan Geiger earned an all-state honorable mention. Hayden High School senior Alex Camilletti also earned an all-state honorable mention.
Tommy Henninger, a Steamboat senior golfer, was named to the 4A boys golf second team.
Soroco’s football team started the fall with an 5-0 record, looking like a shoe-in for the 8-man playoffs, but a 1-3 record in their last four games doomed the Rams.
Following a rocky start, the Sailors volleyball team nearly fought their way to playoff spot but ultimately missed out.
