Baseball is Returning to the Playoffs

We are excited to share that Baseball is returning to the 2A CHSAA Playoffs for the third straight year! The team battled a difficult schedule this spring. They finished strong with wins over SkyView Academy and Platte Canyon, and are ranked 29th out of the 32 teams qualifying for playoffs.

The team will play in Region 4 at Peyton High School on Saturday, May 17th, at 9 a.m. against the #4 seed, Peyton. The winner of this game will play the winner of the matchup between #13 Wiggins and #20 North Fork at 1 p.m. on the same day, also at Peyton.

Athletic Director, Nolan Oberg, "Qualifying for the postseason is a huge accomplishment! Baseball is the only Estes Park Athletics team sport making it to the CHSAA Playoffs in recent years. We hope our other teams will follow suit! And, that we advance to the Final 8!"

Noah Webster, pitcher, leads the team with an ERA of 2.13, and Isaac Hill, second base/catcher, excels with a batting average of .373. Drake Kearney makes significant contributions offensively and defensively with the most stolen bases (15) and his ability to effectively play any position on the field. Cole Ingram is the team's slugger, with a .532 slugging percentage, including an outstanding home run clearing the fence at Lyons on April 29.

Special thanks to our coaching staff for the significant time and effort they put in this season, guiding the team back to playoffs--Head Coach Andrew Moss, Assistant Coach Matt Bird, Assistant Coach Trent Ming and Assistant Coach Adam Tulley.

Two wins on Saturday would advance Estes Park to a double-elimination format starting on May 23-24. The Championship takes place the following weekend on May 30-31.

Boys Track is Returning to State

We are pleased to share that six runners from the Estes Park High School Track and Field Team will be representing Estes Park at 3A CHSAA State on May 15-17 at Jeffco Stadium. Listed below are the students that qualified-

Caleb Estanol, 9th Grade, 4x800m Relay Team
Cris Estanol, 12th Grade, 800m, 1600m, 3200, 4x800m Relay Team
Chess Larimer, 10th Grade, 4x800m Relay Team
Blake Marcantonio, 12th Grade, 4x800m Relay Team
Noah Moore, 10th Grade, 4x800m Relay Team (alternate)
Colby O'Brien, 10th Grade, 4x800m Relay Team (alternate)

The 4x800m relay team had a strong finish at the St. Vrain Invite on Friday, May 9, locking in their spot at State with a time of 8:36.48. This moved the team into 18th in 3A, and the final qualifying spot. Cris Estanol also solidified his spot in the 800m and 1600m at the St. Vrain Invite, moving to 8th in 3A in the 800m with a time of 1:58.41 and 7th in 3A in the 1600m with a time of 4:28.52. Cris Estanol ran the 3200 at the Mile High League Meet on May 2 and moved to 14th in 3A with a time of 9:59.85.

We are very proud of how hard the team has worked to make it back to State! It will be especially fun to have brothers, Cris and Caleb Estanol, compete on the same relay team.

Special thanks to our wonderful coaches, John Grotenhuis, Melissa George, Brent Larimer and Sarah Shields.

Athletics Year in Review

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.
