One of southwestern Colorado’s top prep athletes, Brunson was an all-state player in football and basketball. A 1967 graduate of Montezuma-Cortez High School, Brunson was all-conference as a defensive back and running back and earned the same honors in basketball. He also placed in the state track meet, running the 100 and 220 dashes, the 440 relay and participating in the long jump. Brunson set school marks in the 100 and 220 at Mesa State Junior College and as part of the 440 relay team before moving on to star on the University of Colorado football team.
