Mustangs bring home first state championship in school history
Kinard Core Knowledge Middle School is celebrating a milestone achievement after its girls’ cross country team captured the 2025 State Championship—winning by just one point and securing the first state title in the school’s history.
The championship meet, held on October 25 in Denver, saw the Mustangs overcome a slow start as each runner pushed through the 3,500-meter course to finish with a season-best performance. The boys’ team also delivered a standout effort, finishing third overall.
The victory marks more than just a state title; it highlights the strength of youth athletics in Northern Colorado and the supportive school communities that help student-athletes grow. School leaders praised the team not only for its competitive success but also for its character, teamwork, and positive impact on the Kinard community.
