LAKEWOOD — Sammy Skold will have plenty of memories to cherish now that her athletic career at Evergreen High School is over. That includes this year’s 4A state track and field championships.

“Oh man, it’s been a long four years — definitely four years I’m going to miss,” Skold said.

It’s pretty obvious that an organization called Girls on the Run teaches girls how to run.

But that’s only a small part of what girls in Girls on the Run does.

Sitting at Moe’s Original Bar B Que in downtown Denver, Mark Bell talks about the beginning of his musical career.

“One day I just picked up the harp, and it came to me,” he said.

Bell remembers the actual day: On June 2, 1973, he started playing harmonica, and has been making music ever since with other performers.

“I’ve been around musicians all my life,” he said.
