Estes Park High School offers 15 athletic options for students in grades 9-12 during the school year. The Estes Park School District Athletics Program exists to enhance and elevate the district vision to provide: Excellent Educational Experiences for Every Student, Every Day.

EPHS follows the rules and bylaws of the Colorado State High School Activities Association (webpage).

Sportsmanship Statement

Good Sportsmanship is the attitude and behavior that exemplifies positive support for the interscholastic athletic program, as well as for the individuals who participate in the program. EPSD Athletic Programs participants at all levels are expected to demonstrate qualities that are characterized by fair play, integrity, ethical behavior and respect. Emphasizing and improving the sportsmanship of our student-athletes, coaches, parents and staff is one of our highest priorities. Each coach, student, parent, and staff member has a role and responsibility to model and teach good sportsmanship while keeping in mind that athletic participation is a learning experience for the student and the programs are an extension of the educational system offered within our school district.

Sportsmanship Guidelines-

  • Display pride and respect in your programs at all times.
  • Maintain enthusiasm and composure.
  • Positively support and respect the participants, coaches, and officials.
  • Exercise good judgment in cheering for outstanding performance, not against opponents or to ridicule an error made by those on the field.
  • Follow the cheerleaders in positive cheers to show support for the participants.
  • Respect decisions made by contest officials.
  • Understand that a ticket represents a privilege to observe and positively support amateur athletes.
  • Encourage surrounding fans to display only positive sportsmanlike conduct.
  • Show respect and concern for an injured player, regardless of team.

Bobcat Relay Team Competes on National Stage at Nike Outdoor Nationals

The Estes Park High School boys 4x100-meter relay team competed in the Emerging Elite Division at the Nike Outdoor Nationals on Saturday, June 20, at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

The Bobcats earned a spot at the national meet by achieving a qualifying time during the high school season, marking the first time an Estes Park boys 4x100 relay team has qualified for the prestigious event.

The relay team consisted of rising juniors Jacob Harger and Jed Kim, along with rising seniors Noah Moore and Colby O'Brien. The athletes were accompanied by Coach Brent Larimer.

Competing against some of the nation's top relay teams, the Bobcats posted a time of 45.12 seconds in the preliminary round. While they did not advance to the finals, the opportunity to compete on the national stage provided valuable experience and motivation as they prepare for next season.

With all four relay members returning next year, the future is bright for the Bobcats, who will look to build on this historic accomplishment and return to Nike Outdoor Nationals in 2027.

Thanks to everyone who contributed financial support and encouragement to help make this unforgettable experience possible.
