CC Climbing Team Heads to Nationals

Congratulations to CC’s climbing team, who finished third at the regional championships in Denver! Claire Bresnan ’19 and Rin Gentry ’19 were named regional champions in their respective categories.

The team is in its second year, and Katherine Hade ’22, William Abbey ’22, and Emily Barge ’21 double as the coaches, with Zach Levy ’21 serving as captain. The team trains at three different climbing gyms three times a week, designing their workouts to simulate a competition environment.

The CC team is heading to Nationals in Murfreesboro, Tennessee on April 26th. With only a quarter the number of team members compared to their rivals at the University of Colorado-Boulder and Colorado State University, the team has proven their remarkable strength, talent, and endurance. Good luck this weekend! Read the full story here.

A Field Trip.” The story explored a “rural immersion” program co-founded by Professor Taber and Robert Mitchell, assistant professor at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. The program aims to get college students interested in education in rural districts experiencing teaching shortages. Twenty students, most of whom attend CC or UCCS, visited schools in the Kim, Pritchett, Walsh, Springfield, Campo, and Vilas rural Colorado school districts.
