Over the course of the fall prep season, the Mancos High School volleyball team and boys cross-country teams both performed well in the classroom. As a result, both teams received the Les Schwab Tire Centers Academic Team Championship Award.
The Award is given to varsity athletic teams that earn a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.50 over the course of the season. Both the boys cross country team and the volleyball team won the award last year.
Members of the Mancos volleyball team who helped secure the award were Jessica Willburn, Morgan Lincoln, Nicole Hess, Taylor Goff, Jessica Gutierrez, Courtney Colyer, Taryn Gordanier, Maya Bonde and Kaylee Rose.
Members of the boys cross-country team included Ro Paschal, Nic Archuleta, Simon Kearns, Asa Kearns, Zane Goodell, Vincent Grego and Jake McKie.
