It’s a well-known fact that RV has one of the best athletic programs in all of Colorado. Through hard work and dedication, many athletes from Ralston Valley will signed National Letters of Intent today.

The sports these athletes are representing consist of track and cross country, football, golf, volleyball, soccer, baseball, hockey, and swimming.

Also, some athletes that compete in sports not offered at Ralston Valley are signing to school, like Cody Bartusiak is going to Lynn University for lacrosse and Taylor Hickman is going to Oklahoma State University for Equestrian.

There are some athletes who are going to the same schools for the same sports. Colin Root and Andrew Wingard are both going to be attending school and playing football at the University of Wyoming.

Also, Anthony Falbo and Scott Leach will be attending school and playing football and Colorado State University-Pueblo. Both of these schools have very good programs and now they will be even better with the help of our star football players.

All of these athletes have been given a great opportunity to showcase their skills on a much larger scale with more competition, but it would only make sense that all of these athletes will do extremely well because they have progressed and learned in an amazing athletic program at Ralston Valley.
