Cherry Creek turns to assistant to take over girls lacrosse program
Cherry Creek has hired former assistant Kathryn Ames as its new girls lacrosse coach, athletic director Jason Wilkins announced over Twitter on Friday:
Cherry Creek is proud to announce Kathryn Ames had accepted the head women's lacrosse position for the Bruins. We are very excited. #copreps

Ames takes over for Brianne Tierney, who resigned to pursue opportunities in college. She played Division I lacrosse at James Madison in college.
Though she’s been involved with it up to this point, Ames will now head a program which is coming off of back-to-back appearances in the state title game, including a championship in 2013. Tierney was 28-9 in two seasons at Creek.
The Bruins graduated their top five point scorers from last season, including all-state midfielder Blair Sisk.
Still, it is a program with a lot of history — arguably the most in the state. Cherry Creek has won 10 of the 17 championships awarded in girls lacrosse’s sanctioned history.
