A 2-foot-wide path toward the turf carved out of the deep snow made it feel more like a snow globe than a soccer pitch, Summit head coach Tommy Gogolen said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Each spring, the typically snowy start of the season for Gogolen and the Summit girls soccer program is much different than for Gogolen and the boys program when they start up each August. In August, Gogolen said it often feels like the season can\u2019t get here soon enough, one practice under the hot summer sun after another. Come March, though, the start of the girls season can feel a bit rushed. However, Gogolen said playing soccer in these kinds of atypical early spring conditions can prove exciting too, especially for a young team like his that is still gelling together and finding their confidence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWith our girls, it\u2019s the big hustle to get everything done in terms of organization on the field and to get everything prepped and ready,\u201d Gogolen said. \u201cIt\u2019s a challenge, but, no excuses, it makes everything fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Fun was certainly what the Tigers experienced when they began their season with that 8-0 victory over Rifle, one that featured five goals from Tigers sophomore and first-year varsity striker Abigail Wineland. Wineland is one of several up-and-coming players the Tiger program is relying on this season after some strong, college-bound seniors departed after the 2018 spring campaign. And though the Tigers have lost four in a row since their trouncing of Rifle, Gogolen is hopeful his young team can build off of what they have done well in that season-opening victory and in the games since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe\u2019ve just got to bring our level up to that of the competition,\u201d Gogolen said. \u201cOur girls can knock the ball around, we can possess, we can move the ball, we can put it in the back of our opponents net, it\u2019s just a matter of matching our competition level to their\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Looking ahead, the Tigers will have opportunities to avenge some of their early season losses, such as a 1-0 loss at home to Eagle Valley. The key to pulling off victories like that, Gogolen said, is for the squad to approach midfield play a little bit more offensive-minded, pushing more and taking more chances up top.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThat \u2018this is an opportunity to be selfish,\u2019\u201d Gogolen said. \u201c\u2018We worked hard moving the ball all the way up to our final third, so now is the time to pull the trigger and score.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Tigers thus far this season have been led by their defense, which has a senior captain anchoring the center-back position in the athletic, organized and knowledgable CeCe Pennell. Behind Pennell, junior Anna Tomlinson has returned to play well as goalkeeper, as Gogolen said, Tomlinson\u2019s performances have been stronger than score lines indicate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As for the offense, Gogolen commended Wineland for her \u201ccannon\u201d of a shot, \u201clightning-fast\u201d speed and \u201cstriker\u2019s mentality.\u201d Wineland plays in front of an improving midfield centered around center-mid Breanna Roach. A junior captain, Gogolen described Roach as a natural leader who \u201chas her hand in the pot\u201d on both the offensive and defensive sides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Looking ahead, Roach said the key to this year\u2019s success will come down to continued team chemistry. After most recently losing 7-0 on the road to Steamboat Springs, Summit will travel to Aspen for a 4 p.m. game on Thursday before returning to their snowbanked home pitch at Tiger Stadium on Saturday to take on Steamboat Springs at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThe more we get out and get touches on the ball together, the more we learn about each other\u2019s style,\u201d Roach said, \u201cand the more we will be able to work together and be on the same page.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Track and field<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Summit boys track and field team earned fifth place at last week\u2019s Spartan Spike Invitational in Berthoud while the girls competed to a sixth-place finish.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Tigers boys were led on the day by Brennan Creen\u2019s success in three individual competitions and Lorenzo Lucia\u2019s third-place finish in the 100-meter dash (12.26 seconds) and fourth-place showing in the high jump (5 feet, 6 inches). Those two marks from the senior Lucia earned the Tigers eight of their 82 points in the team competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lucia\u2019s fellow Summit senior Creen ran to second place in the 110-meter hurdles, as his time of 18.49 seconds was just over a quarter-second behind the winning pace of Carter Von Seggerend of Berthoud. Creen also ran to third place in the 300-meter hurdles, with a time of 45.95. Across the two events, Creen earned the Tigers 11 team points, while his fourth-place finish in the triple jump (37 feet, 2 inches) also earned Summit five team points. Summit\u2019s Gray Wasson ran to fourth place in the 300-meter hurdles, with a time of 45.95.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Other top-five finishes at the Spartan Spike for Summit\u2019s boys included Korben Long\u2019s fifth-place finish and time of 12.47 in the 100-meter dash, Long\u2019s fifth-place finish and time of 24.81 in the 200 meters and Sam Burke and Jeremiah Vaille\u2019s back-to-back third- and fourth-place finishes in the 3,200-meter run, with times of 10:47.89 and 10:49.96, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Summit boys\u2019 top relay on the day came in the 4\u00d7100-meter relay, where Demary Frater, Lucia and Long teamed up with Gabe Dalrymple to run to a second-place time of 47.34, about one and a hlaf seconds off of the winning pace of Loveland\u2019s relay team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">On the girls side, Summit senior Noelle Resignolo won the 800-meter run; her time of 2:31.60 was six seconds ahead of any other runner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Summit girls had several second-place finishes including senior Cashema Hemans\u2019 second-place finish in the 100-meter dash. Hemans\u2019 time of 13.52 was just over a minute off of the winning pace of Highland\u2019s Remington Ross. Summit junior Grace Staberg also ran to second place in the 1,600-meter run, her time of 5:53.46 just under six seconds off of the winning pace of Loveland\u2019s Cadence Lapp. Staberg also ran to third place in the 3,200 meters, with a time of 12:33.32.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Summit senior Emma Howard was another top performer for the Tigers girls at the Spartan Spike, as Howard jumped to third place in the high jump (4 feet, 9 inches) while also earning fifth place in the long jump, with a mark of 14 feet, 11 inches. And in the 400 meters, Summit\u2019s Madi Hirsh ran to fifth place with a time of 1:04.79.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Tigers boys and girls varsity track and field teams will return to action on Saturday at Eagle Valley High School.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Baseball<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Summit varsity baseball team (1-10) picked up its first win of the season on March 26 when the Tigers triumphed over Hinkley as part of the Arvada Tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In the win, Summit senior pitcher Andrew Reynolds picked up the victory after the Tigers hitters batted home four runs in the first inning. The Tigers\u2019 offensive outburst was led by sophomore Foster Kruger\u2019s three-RBI, 2-for-4 performance at the plate. Reynolds also scored three runs on a 2-for-4 showing at the plate while sophomore Zach Misch registered three hits, one RBI and two runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Since the win over Hinkley, Summit has lost a doubleheader at Palisade, by the scores of 11-1 and 12-0, and a road game at Berthoud by the score of 12-2. The Tigers will return to the diamond for a doubleheader at Eagle Valley on Friday, with games scheduled for 2 and 4 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/sports\/young-summit-girls-soccer-team-gelling-through-early-season-tigers-track-and-field-stars-shine-at-spartan-spike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the Summit High School girls soccer program practice on Tuesday, April 2 inside the school&#8217;s new indoor turf at Summit High School near Frisco.Hugh Carey \/ hcarey@summitdaily.com Members of the Summit High School girls soccer program practice on Tuesday, April 2 inside the school&#8217;s new indoor turf at Summit High School near Frisco.Hugh [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-794489","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-14 08:08:09","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSMT The Mountain","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=794489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/794489\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=794489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=794489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=794489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
