After the Conference's first football season and the winter basketball tournament, spring 1922 brought the third sport under the new state league: track and field. The meet ran at the University of Colorado in mid-May. Papers often framed it as more than a Colorado title — the “All-West” or “All-Western” scholastic track meet — reflecting a field that reached beyond state lines.
State Track Meet
Fort Collins won with 31.5 points — nearly double the runner-up. Individual honors went to Wagy of Carrolton, Missouri, with 15 points; he later competed in a national meet in Chicago. Telluride was expected with star Louis Telk but “failed to show up.” Roughly 28 schools and 240 athletes took part.
The same clipping notes a Board of Athletic Control ruling that Denver teams were not allowed to enter — part of the broader fight over Denver membership that runs through 1923–1925.
