Melody Fairchild
Boulder
Perhaps the finest prep female distance runner ever in the state, Melody Fairchild was a six-time state champion, twice in cross country, three times in the 3200 meter run and 1600 meter run, all at the 5A level. A 1991 graduate of Boulder High School, Fairchild holds the CHSAA mark for best cross country time (1989) and the state mark in the 3200 and 1600 meters. She was the first female high school runner in the nation to break 10 minutes in the 2-mile run. She went on to compete at the University of Oregon, earning All-America status
