LAKEWOOD -- Brighton High School came away with two, top-10 finishes in the second day of the state 5A track-and-field meet at Jeffco Stadium Friday.

Katelyn Ellis wound up fifth in the high jump at 5 feet 4 inches. That's just an inch off the school record.

Rachael Lopez, who finished 15th in the 800-meter run the past two state meets and who was on the 15th-place relay team in the 4-by-800-meter relay Thursday, took sixth in this year's 800-meter run. Her time was 2:16.26.

BRIGHTON — The Prairie View pipeline to Colorado State University-Pueblo is open again.
    This time, it claimed ThunderHawks’ volleyball player Lindsay Miller. She signed her letter of intent last week.
    “I had interest from schools in West Virginia and Maryland,” she said. “I didn’t want to go that far. I also had Oklahoma Panhandle interested. For a few years I had some smaller colleges and Junior Colleges like Otero and Trinidad.”

HIGHLANDS RANCH — Early goals by Megan Massey and Amy Alexander of Mountain Vista within the first four minutes of the game may have rattled Prairie View a little.
    “We may have been shook up a little bit,” head coach Jason Oulman said. “I don’t think we were totally 100 percent ready for their speed. I think after those first two goals, it woke us up and we were able to pull together after that.”
