With road and trail races from 5k up to 100 milers, it’s fair to say Coach Blake is an accomplished runner. She’s happy to share times and places with anyone who finds that important, but in her opinion, the biggest takeaway is that she knows how to set goals and she knows how to work hard to achieve them. And she wants to help you do the same.

She is the head coach of the girls’ cross country team at Conifer HS and in her 5 years of coaching, has led them from nearly last in the League & Region, to 1st. These accomplishments gained her the title of Coach of the Year in Jefferson County for 2023.

Blake is a nurse and content writer, and is married with two daughters, a sweet lil bunny, and three dogs. It’s quite obvious she is smitten by Rico, but her other 2 dogs are just as important and also rescue pups! (Hi, Breck & Theo!)

Kim loves all things related to running and adventure! Kim is an ultra-marathoner who also loves the road with over 40 road marathons under her belt. Kim is a former high school teacher with 10 years of experience as a head cross-country and track coach. She is passionate about getting women and girls outdoors and developed a national program called the Girl’s Guide to Epic Outdoor Adventure for REI and the national non-profit organization Girls Leadership that focuses on building self-awareness, healthy boundary setting, and courageous growth.

As a coach, Kim focuses on the importance of nurturing the whole human and aims to connect athleticism to leadership, mental health, and social-emotional development. She has been a featured presenter at the Boulder Running Clinics, the key-note speaker for Athleta Girl’s leadership conference and is now a professional-development coach and consultant for teachers, coaches and youth development specialists. Kim lives in Conifer, Colorado with her husband, two children, and ever-growing number of family pets.

Coach Stotts has been coaching Track & Field and Cross Country at Conifer High School since 2005. He’s been named Coach of the Year 7 times - 3 times in the Colorado7 League and 4 times in Jefferson County.

Coach Stotts ran in high school and college and has many impressive race times to his name. He’s a self-described “Data Nerd” who lives to pore over athletes’ performance metrics— the perfect “Coach Beard” to Blake’s “Ted Lasso.”

Stotts is also an English teacher at the high school and is married with two children (and a dog, of course).
