Silver Creek finished 16th of 25 teams

Excerpt from Times Call Article:
PAUL EXITS ON HIGH NOTE: Alex Paul is used the the bright lights of the state meet.
And the senior didn’t disappoint on Saturday. This time, however, Paul was donning a Silver Creek uniform.
Paul, who transferred from Niwot over the summer, crossed the finish line in 11th place at the Class 4A state meet. It’s his best showing at state in a career filled with expectations and accomplishments.
“I hopped on the outside and just cruised,” said Paul, who had a time of 16:36.72. “I never saw (Niwot’s) David Perry. I never caught up to that front pack.”
But Paul anchored the Raptors to a 16th-place team finish. It was the first time Silver Creek has ever qualified its entire boys team.
“We set the standard now,” Paul said. “It’s the first state team we’ve ever had, and we had a strong showing.”
