| | | | Two years ago, the Montrose girls basketball team ran into a buzzsaw of a Roosevelt squad in the Class 5A Great 8. As the Red Hawks put together a season in which losses were non-existent, they thought of that fateful weekend and what their mission was for 2020. It wasn't just getting to Denver Coliseum, but also winning at Denver Coliseum. A 61-54 win over Air Academy on Saturday checked the box, but this team is far from done in their eyes. "We're going to go home; make that long drive back to Montrose and work hard for a few days," coach Steve Skiff said. "Then we're going to come back on Thursday and leave it all out at the Coliseum and see if we can move on again." | | | | | | When Montrose resident and long-time figure skater Sarah Seibold competed in her first ice cross race in 2023, she thought she was just checking an item off her bucket list. Now, just a few years later, she's the second-best woman in the world. Seibold said members of the ice cross community like to call the pursuit "the coolest sport you haven't heard of." "Essentially it's downhill racing on hockey skates," she explained. Athletes don skates— and usually, lots of safety gear— and race at speeds reaching 40 miles per hour down an unforgiving, icy track four at a time with lots of bumps, jumps and of curves. | | | | | | City Councilors have voted unanimously to place the historic Montrose Post Office, located at 25-27 North Cascade Avenue, on the city's Register of Historic Places. In his presentation to City Council, Senior City Planner William Reis said the historic Montrose Post Office is over fifty years old and meets the criteria for the city's historic register due to its significant contribution to local history and the building's history, based upon the methods of construction used over a century ago. Reis said the building is significant for its association with the early development of governmental services in Montrose. It was completed in 1890 and was the site of an early Montrose post office, a function it continued to serve until the completion of the present post office in 1932. | | | | | | | | |
