Notes from sports committee meetings this week, including the state cross country meets remaining at the Norris Penrose Event Center for the next two years.
That a new champion would be crowned was the one guarantee going into the Class 4A volleyball state championship match Saturday night at the Denver Coliseum.
Five teams won state volleyball championships on Saturday: Grandview (5A), Lewis-Palmer (4A), Eaton (3A), Resurrection Christian (2A) and Fleming (1A).
Class 4A's Elizabeth and 2A's Yuma -- ninth-seeded, both -- were the first two teams to punch their tickets to Saturday's semifinals during the first day of the state volleyball tournaments at the Denver Coliseum on Friday.
