Five weeks ago, Emily Van Meter was one of more than 2,500 runners who required medical attention while running the Boston Marathon on a day of driving rain, temperatures in the 40s and headwinds that gusted to 25 mph. On Sunday, she claimed redemption by winning the Colfax Marathon in two hours, 56 minutes and 51 seconds. She achieved the goal she had set for herself at Boston before she passed out at mile 13 from hypothermia and was treated at a nearby firehouse: breaking three hours for the first time while posting a winning margin of 12 minutes. “It was my second Boston, so I definitely knew what the course was like and I wanted to finish, but there are some things you can’t control,” said Van Meter, 25, a speech therapist who attended Cherry Creek High School and lives in Colorado Springs.

Renck & File: Rock bottom. Time to start tracking Rockies’ wins with 1962 New York Mets
Denver Post, Saturday - 05/04/2024 - 07:45 AM
The best thing about rock bottom is the bottom part. It has no delusions of adequacy, and knows its friends are Antarctica, the 1997-98 Denver Nuggets and “Tiger Blood” Charlie Sheen. The worst thing is the rock. Or in this case, the Rockies. They are playing baseball so poorly that there is a growing suspicion that they might do it worse than any team in the modern history of the sport.
