Longmont’s Connor McCormick uses late kick to win Class 4A 3,200-meter title in dramatic fashion: by KyleNewmanDP copreps
The Longmont senior and Princeton commit outpaced the pack to win the Class 4A title in a highly technical race at Jeffco Stadium that featured numerous lead changes and a pivotal final lap by McCormick. He won in 9 minutes, 3.83 seconds, 21 seconds better than his personal best and a classification record for the state meet.
McCormick bested the Cheyenne Mountain tandem of Tyler Nord and Erik Le Roux , both of whom also broke the 4A meet record, while Niwot senior and Stanford commit Zane Bergen finished fourth . McCormick hovered around fifth or sixth for much of the race before breaking away in the final lap, and said he “never looked at the clock.”
For that reason, McCormick was grateful for the unusual off-day at the state meet caused by the snow.
