Sentinel Colorado’s preps Blast from the Past image for July 31, 2023, shows the finishing kick of Aurora Central High School girls cross country runner Ardisia Knowles, left, as she holds off Rangeview’s Janessa Villanueva down the stretch to the finish line during the annual Aurora Invitational cross country meet in 2010 at the Aurora Sports Park. During that season, Knowles led the Trojans at every meet she entered and ran her personal best 5K time at the Dave Sanders Invitational at Clement Park. Her highest finish came at the EMAC Championship cross country meet — also held at the Aurora Sports Park — in which she finished in 11th place. (File photo by Courtney Oakes/Sentinel Colorado)

The cross country meet in 2010 with Ardisia Knowles was a great meet I was there for that one and for all my daughters meets. I’m the mom of Ardisia Knowles and every time she ran it was great but that day was great and she ran her heart out and I was and am so proud of her to this day.
