LAKEWOOD • Fountain-Fort Carson’s Jamarius Mathis won the Class 5A shot put title Saturday, but he seemed to enjoy his run on the Jefferson County Stadium track even more.

No, the burly senior didn’t compete in a race at the track and field championships. But he did join his teammates in a victory lap to celebrate the Trojans’ title. F-FC compiled 73 points to edge Cherry Creek (67) and Regis (62).

“The individual title is nice, but the team title — they don’t even compare,” Mathis said. “Just knowing all these guys. … They’re pretty much like my brothers — all of them.”
