Coal Ridge High School’s Titan Technos returned to the First Tech Challenge Mountain Robotics Qualifier with more than a robot in hand—they carried valuable life lessons learned from months of hard work and problem-solving in their Robotics II class.

The Titan Technos team, composed of seniors Hugo Rodelas, Sebastian Gilner, Aron Ruiz, and Alvin Ibarra, competed with a robot designed, built, and programmed to meet the demands of this year’s FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Tech Challenge. The silver machine, featuring Titan Blue wheel trim and mechanical arms, represented not only a semester’s test of their technical skills but also their perseverance, adaptability, and teamwork.

On February 4, 2025, one of Coal Ridge High School’s most accomplished athletes, Kaitlyn Detlefsen, was inducted into the Coal Ridge Athletic Hall of Fame.

Kaitlyn’s athletic journey at Coal Ridge was extraordinary. From 2012 to 2016, she showcased her unmatched athleticism, work ethic, and leadership in three varsity sports—Volleyball, Basketball, and Track & Field.

Kaitlyn wasn’t just a participant; she was a dominant force in every arena she stepped into. On the volleyball court, she truly made her mark, and was a two-time all-conference athlete, a first-team all-state player in 2015, and the 3A Western Slope League Player of the Year that same year. These accolades reflect not only her individual skill but the way she elevated her entire team.
