CC’s starting lineup for the season finale consisted of five first-year players, four sophomores, a junior and a senior, and that victory over Air Force gave the young Tigers an 8-11-0 overall record and a 4-7-0 mark in the Mountain West. Throughout the season, Colorado College was close in almost every game it played. Ten of CC’s 19 games were decided by one goal, including two non-conference games that went to overtime. Leading the way offensively was sophomore forward Clara Richter, who had three game winners among her team-leading five goals. Sophomore midfielder Lauren Milliet was second with four goals and nine points, while freshman forward Catie McDonald tied for third on the team with a pair of goals and tied for fourth with four points. Juniors Ali Basom and Anne-Sophie Lapointe anchored the Colorado College defense, which tied for first in the conference with eight overall shutouts. Aleesa Muir, a first-year defender, was named to the Mountain West’s All-Newcomer Team in a ballot of the conference’s head coaches. CC finished ninth in the conference table as well as third in the 2016 Colorado Cup standings with a 2-1 record.

CC’s aquatic complex features 1- and 3-meter maxiflex diving boards above a 14-feet-deep diving well along with the pool’s eight racing lanes. Recent renovations include a new vestibule entrance, new bleachers and renovated locker rooms.

Ritt Kellogg Climbing Gym Completed early in 2013 as part of a $27 million renovation and expansion project of the El Pomar Sports Center and now 27 feet high, this state-of-the-art facility features 3,500 square feet of climbing surface, 24 rope stations, bouldering caves, natural cracks and a chimney/off-width area. The space is named after the late Ritt Kellogg, who graduated from Colorado College in 1990 with a degree in philosophy.

Jerry Carle Varsity Strength & Conditioning Center The Jerry Carle Varsity Strength & Conditioning Center, which opened in December 2012, is a varsity-only facility located on the first floor of the El Pomar Sports Center. The expanded training accommodations, which occupy the spaces formerly housing the Carle Weight Room and the Turf Room, contain state-of the-art cardio machines and free weights, as well as a plyometric training area and hockey shooting room.

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Washburn Field Washburn Field, full-time stomping ground for the men’s lacrosse team at Colorado College, also serves as part-time home venue for the men’s and women’s soccer squads, as well as a practice/training facility for track and field. The historic site has been a fixture on the CC campus for more than a century. The Frank Flood Memorial Track, named after a longtime CC football assistant and track coach, was resurfaced and improved as part of the project during the summer of 2013. The world-famous summit of Pikes Peak, 14,115 feet above sea level, still dominates the landscape as viewed from the grandstand on the east sideline. Named after Rev. Phillip Washburn, rector at Grace Episcopal Church and an avid CC football fan, it is formerly known as the oldest of its type west of the MIssissippi River.

Adam F. Press Fitness Center The Adam F. Press Fitness Center provides a safe, healthy, diverse and invigorating workout experience for members of the Colorado College community. The Fitness Center features the 3,500-square-foot Smith Cardio Center, a 4,500-square-foot strength training room, the 1,000-square-foot Louis Multi-Purpose Room, a group exercise studio for yoga and other fitness classes, a full-sized (94’ X 50’) recreational gym, the 27-foot high Ritt Kellogg Climbing Gym, one squash court and one convertible squash/racquetball court.

Stewart Field Stewart Field has served the needs of baseball, football, lacrosse and soccer at CC, and has undergone many changes en route to become the current home turf for men’s and women’s varsity soccer as well as the women’s lacrosse team. The natural-grass playing surface accommodates a regulation-size soccer field. An enclosed two-story press box, which houses a medical trainers’ room on its lower level, was built at midfield along the west sideline in the late 1990s, and covered benches were added in 2003.

Honnen Ice Arena The facility, located just east of the El Pomar Sports Center and the Schlessman Natatorium, was built in 1963 at a cost of $750,000 by architects Lusk & Wallace of Colorado Springs. It opened on Feb. 5, 1966. It was named for the main donors: the Edward H. Honnen family of Denver. Both hockey and figure skating are featured at the rink. An individual can find a program to suit their needs from learning to skate to hockey pick-up games and adult league games.

The Broadmoor World Arena One of the finest college hockey facilities anywhere, The Broadmoor World Arena has been on national display as the site for the NCAA West Regional in 2004 and 2008. It opened its doors as CC’s new home in January of 1998. Ever since, the Tigers have strived to take full advantage of their state-of-the-art surroundings. Everything about the facility is first class, and the Colorado College program is a major benefactor of the amenities. Part of a $58.8 million complex located in the southern end of the city’s business district off Interstate 25, the main arena features an Olympic-size sheet of ice (100 by 200 feet) and officially seats 7,380 spectators for hockey.

Burghart Tennis Courts The Burghart Courts, located adjacent to Washburn Field on the Colorado College campus, provide a home competition site for the Colorado College men’s and women’s tennis teams. The complex can accommodate as many as six matches at once, with convenient entrances to all courts and easy access to locker rooms. In addition to serving as the home facility for varsity competition, the courts are available for use by the entire campus community. Burghart Tennis Courts are named after longtime CC supporters Bob and Yolanda Burghart, who both graduated from the College in the 1920s.

Colorado College Athletics | 2016-17 Annual Report

SPORTS MEDICINE 360 athletes went through pre-participation exams prior to the start of their respective seasons. These exams include review of current injury status, coordination of physician visits when necessary, and any further testing deemed appropriate by team physicians. Neuropsychological baseline tests were performed on all new first-year and junior student-athletes. Since injuries occur in varying complexity, each injury must be thoroughly evaluated to determine the severity, how it will affect sport participation and need for referral to other medical professionals. 226 medical referrals resulted in a physician office visit. 65 in-house clinic opportunities were available for an athlete to see a physician on campus. 517 medical appointments were completed on campus-free of charge to the student athlete. This is of great value due to the cost savings from not having co-pay responsibilities, no bills generated to insurance and the secondary insurance policy and less time and travel required by student-athlete and sports medicine staff. 935 Physical Therapy evaluations and rehabilitation appointments were performed during the 2016-2017 academic year. 135 injury prevention screenings were performed in an effort to reduce the number of significant injuries sustained by athletes. Team physicians, which include all specialty areas of care, rotate through the Sports Medicine facility on a weekly basis to provide pro bono work at a conservative value of greater than $100,000 per year. To insure optimum communication and continuum of care, each athlete is accompanied by a member of the sports medicine staff to his/her appointment with team physicians and specialists. Sports Medicine continues to attract quality students who have an interest in pursuing careers in the medical and allied health fields and help prepare them for successful admission into MD, DO, PA, PT and RN/NP post graduate schools.
