Fountain-Fort Carson rules again in 5A boys’ track

LAKEWOOD — Fountain-Fort Carson’s fab foursome — four seniors bound for the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley — capped a dominating Class 5A boys team state title Saturday by easily winning the 4-X-400-meter relay at rainy Jefferson County Stadium.
Jalen Lyon, who won the 200- and 400-meter dashes earlier in the day, ran the last leg after Jason Ferrell, James Thomas and Deondre Ritter created a giant lead on second-place Poudre and third-place Smoky Hill. Ritter entered the meet questionable with a hamstring injury, and Lyon also considered skipping the meet because of a leg injury.

But Brian and Monica Folts decided long ago that it makes more sense for them to hop on those remorseless machines, punch “Start,” select a running pace to their liking and pound out the miles rather than take time to get in a car and drive somewhere to run.
