Congrats to our CMC Eagles cross-country team student-athletes who competed at the Joe Vigil Open in Alamosa last weekend. This kicks off the team's fourth season as part of the @NJCAA.

With what Eagles head coach Darren Brungardt called "perfect cross-country weather" of cool 50s and 60s, the men raced in an 8K around the flat and fast golf course.

Adams State won the meet with a near-perfect score of 16 points. Trinidad State was second with 79, Fort Lewis third with 105, and CMC fourth at 137.

Brungardt noted the men's team were all first-year runners, so they all ran personal best times.

Harrison Fries-Levy was the team's top runner, finishing 40th overall at 29:00.08. That placed him seventh in CMC history.

Other men's runners who placed were Ben Lague, 30:44.35; Kenneth Obregon Orozco, 31:08.43; Nate Encinias, 32:06.74; Harrison Walter, 34:17.06; Korben Long, 35:13.98; and Paulo Aponte, 35:33.91.

"I really loved how the men worked together and rallied at the end," Brungardt said. "This team is young and has an exciting future."

He added the women ran without two runners who had classes but still performed well.

Abby Hagen led the women with a 27th overall finish and a time of 23:01.3. She was followed by Anne Mawhinney, in her first-ever cross-country meet, in 34th. Her time of 24:59.3 was her fastest-ever 5K on road, track or grass. That placed her eighth in CMC women's cross-country history.

Anais Garcia followed at 25:25.37, and Alexis Ricks — also in her first-ever 5K — at 26:22.70, 10th place all-time in CMC women's cross-country history.

The Eagles' next meet is Saturday, Sept. 24, at @cmc_leadville against Central Wyoming College. Women race their 5K at 9 a.m., and men run their 8K at 9:45 a.m. Community members are encouraged to race with the teams for $20. Registration happens at the meet.

Thank you @govofco for helping us celebrate the completion of Colorado's largest solar array and battery storage facility located at @cmcspringvalley, developed in partnership with Holy Cross Energy and Ameresco. This huge new project will offset power to CMC campuses in #Aspen, Spring Valley, and Edwards as we work toward our goal of being carbon neutral by 2050.

Happy #HSIsWeek! The federal government designated CMC as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (#HSI) in 2021 after years of deliberate efforts to grow CMC’s student body to be over 25% Latino and prioritize improving access to education while advancing equity for traditionally underserved students. Celebrating the amazing things our students accomplish in our mountain communities! 🎉

Take time today to reflect and remember all the lives that were lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the heroic first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice to save others. Out of this tragedy grew moments of courage and hope. Moments of compassion. Moments that we should #NeverForget.

There’s always something beautiful growing at the Bear Park Permaculture Center at @cmcsteamboatsprings. Students, faculty, and community members get their hands dirty to learn sustainable practices and permaculture in the outdoor gardens and 4-season growing dome. Did you spot the little pineapple 🍍?
