At the CHSAA 5A State Cross Country Championships which was held at the Norris-Penrose Event Center, Colorado Springs CO on October 27, the Boulder High girls team finished 10th in the state. Freshman Stella Vieth finished the 5k (3.1 miles) with a time of 20:01 and senior Kate Zacharias ran a time of 20:03

The boys finished 16th in state which was slightly below expectations but was a triumph in sportsmanship. Two of the top scoring boys disqualified after one collapsed near the finish line and the other helped him across. Sophomore Lukas Haug was 10th overall with a time of 16:37
