RoCCy Stars at City Press Event
CC’s RoCCy and UCCS’ mascot, Clyde the Mountain Lion, were the stars at a Colorado Springs press event in mid-March that unveiled upcoming events celebrating the city’s sesquicentennial (150 years). The pull of the region was on display with a tug-of-war between RoCCy and Clyde, with Rocky the ram (no relation), serving as referee. Rocky is the mascot of Pikes Peak, also known as “America’s Mountain.” The tug-of-war ended in a 1-1 tie, but RoCCy and Clyde promised to meet again. The city is planning a series of sesquicentennial events this summer. Photo courtesy City of Colorado Springs
