When Lewis-Palmer girls’ swimming coach Terre Christensen brought her team to face Air Academy, she knew they would be tired.

The Rangers, who are coming off a third-place finish at Saturday’s Hornet Invite in Pueblo, have had five meets in two weeks, but they know that this is no time to let up.

Led by a sweep in the diving competition, Lewis-Palmer defeated host Air Academy 101-84 at Liberty High School on Tuesday afternoon.

Steamboat Springs Nordic combined skier Todd Lodwick spent the summer increasing his endurance and his leg strength through running, roller skiing, cycling, weightlifting and jumping off plastic hills. He’ll compete this month in his fifth Olympics. Photo by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
