COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Members of the Colorado Springs Colorado North Stake volunteered for some 600 shifts to help during the State Games of America held here Aug. 2-5. The volunteers worked during opening ceremonies, helped check in athletes, worked at information booths and helped with crowd control and traffic direction during the Games, which offer medal winners from 49 State Games the chance to compete against each other in events similar to those of the Olympic Games.
In addition, one Church member, 17-year-old Kelli Ehardt of the Colorado Springs 13th Ward and a senior at Rampart High School, won first place in pole vault with a jump of 12 feet.
In the 2005 Games, in gymnastics, she won 1st on bars, 2nd all-round, and 3rd on floor. She is a champion of the Colorado High School 5A Track Meet where she achieved the distinction of being the first girl in the state to pole vault 13 feet. She is rated 7th in the nation.
