When the Colorado Mesa University (CMU) women’s soccer team plays the University of Colorado—Colorado Springs (UCCS) on Nov. 30 in the National College Athletics Association (NCAA) south-central semifinals, two of the competing players have connections to Meeker.
Meeker High School alumnus and state-placing MHS wrestler in 1994, Chad Dare, now lives in Fruita, Colorado, with his wife Mindy. They have four children.
Daughter Carli is a sophomore at CMU and her younger sister Regan is a freshman at UCCS. Both teams are in the NCAA semifinals and will face off Thursday, Nov. 30 at 5 p.m. at the CMU Community Hospital Unity Field.
