Hi all. I have some questions regarding the Liberty Bell meet in Colorado.
It's clearly one of the most important races the Colorado teams take part in, due to ignoring the school size restrictions and pitting 3A, 4A, 5A schools all against each other.
I have some questions:
1. How long has the meet been around, and has the meet changed courses, venues, ect.
2. Is there an all time meet records website anywhere? I wasn't able to find one.
Thanks!
1) From what I found, the meet itself goes back to roughly 1978 (three mile course) and changed in 1980 when it updated to 5K. I’m not 100% certain that this is the same course, and given the development of the area, it is likely that the course has changed since then.
2) Didn’t find a current record website, but the boys course record is 14:30 by Parker Wolfe (COVID year so it wasn’t quite Liberty Bell) and boys meet record is 14:38 by Cole Sprout. Similar dealio with the girls but 16:19 course record during COVID and 16:40 meet record, both by Sydney Thorvaldson. If you want some outdated but more detailed info, there’s some at
Hope this helps!
