Chances are, if you know Averly Hobbs, that you’ll find the Chatfield Senior High junior somewhere near a pool. She’ll either be life guarding or, more likely, working on new dives.
The repetitive work on those dives, along with her working out in the gym, is why she has become one of Colorado’s better divers.
This past February, as a sophomore, Hobbs placed second in the 5A state high school diving championships with a 454.65 point total. Only Loveland senior Michal Bower scored higher with a 486.15 total.

Since its May 18 opening, Colorado’s newest state park has been packing in the crowds. 

“The number of visitors was much higher than we expected,” said Jennifer Anderson, manager at Staunton State Park.

From May 18-31, approximately 25,000 visitors experienced the 3,828-acre park southwest of Conifer. Anderson said more than 46,000 people entered the park in June.

Ryan Miller, a five-time letterman at the University of Colorado and a member of the 2006 Columbine Rebels’ 5A state championship team, suffered a concussion during the third practice of the week at the Cleveland Browns’ training camp on July 27, the Cleveland Plain Dealer and Cleveland Browns reported.

It was Matt Plitnick’s idea that if his team — Team Liberty — scored first in the finals of the 2013 Champion All-American Showcase lacrosse game, that his players would gather around and smile for the camera.
A little cheesy? Yes. But having fun was the name of the game as four all-star teams gathered at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World from July 24-26. Players and coaches from throughout the United States gathered in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., for a trio of pool-play games before the championship and consolation game finals.
