Bobby Tillman, coach of the Pueblo West High School cross‑country team, presented a planned team trip to Lawrence, Kansas and described fundraising to help students participate.
Tillman said parents can expect an out‑of‑pocket cost of about $200 per student and that the trip typically includes hotel accommodations and campus visits. He emphasized that the trip is an important experience for many of the team’s athletes, many of whom are middle‑ and high‑school students who value exposure to large university campuses.
Board members asked about trip logistics and practice schedules; Tillman described summer training routines and said the team normally practices Monday through Thursday at 6 a.m. and that participation in specific travel groups is based on meet rosters and available slots.
