Taking a page from the playbooks of larger schools, many smaller schools also gave some varsity regulars some rest this weekend. Many, perhaps, but certainly not all.

Arvada West Cross Country Invitational

There wasn't a lot of small-school representation at this meet, but what they lacked in quantity they made up for in quality. Ben Butler's 15:50 took the win. SkyView Academy's fifth and Jefferson Academy's sixth topped the small school team placings among the boys. 

Cassie Unruh at 21:17 led small school girls placers. And, once again, SkyView Academy edged Jefferson Academy by a single place in the team scoring. Charter schools were evidently sticking together at this meet.
