“She’s the runner that everyone wants to be.” Cherry Creek's Riley Stewart once again showed why she might be the greatest female distance runner in copreps history. by KyleNewmanDP
LAKEWOOD — In preparation for this year’s state track meet, St. Mary’s junior Jackson Neppl pored over hours of video of past races, studying Colorado’s top distance runners and seeing what he could add to his own approach.“I watched all her races, all her interviews,” said Neppl, who won the Class 2A 800- and 1,600-meter races. “Her race technique is impeccable.
“Colorado’s had such unbelievable distance runners as a whole, male and female, so for her to be the best to ever come from this state — that’s really saying a lot,” said Grandview coach John Reyes, whose boys won their second straight team title Sunday. “I don’t think there’s an argument. She is the best. Look at the times.”In Reyes’ eyes, Stewart has supplanted both runners in Colorado prep lore. And now, Stewart has the potential to take down national high school records, too.
Stewart’s performance paved the way for Cherry Creek winning its second girls team title and first since 2013. Kinsey Christianson also won multiple titles , as the Iowa State commit beat Stewart in the latter race. Christianson was also the opening runner on Cherry Creek’s 4×400 relay that took first.
“Her head could’ve exploded but it didn’t,” added Kel McDavid, one of the Bruins’ star sprinters and an Oklahoma commit. “It’s been so fun to see her have the success that she’s had and every single day continue to be her genuine self… she pushes our team every day. Even the boys on our team, she’s making other people better — she beats about half the boys.”
