Colin Roos, Salt Lake CC Baseball

A 2023 graduate of Sandpoint High, Colin was a part of the Bruins' NJCAA Division I National Championship run, which ended with the school's first ever JUCO baseball title this past Saturday, May 31, in Grand Junction, Colo. Salt Lake CC, which finished the year with a 48-11 record, defeated Florida Southwestern State of Fort Myers, Fla. (16-2), Shelton State Community College of Tuscaloosa, Ala. (15-13), Florence-Darlington Technical College of Florence, S.C. (17-16), Lakeland Community College of Kirtland, Ohio (12-2), which avenged a second round loss earlier in the tournament, and top-seeded Walters State College of Morristown, Tenn. (9-6) in the championship game. The Bruins were seeded eighth overall and became the lowest-seeded team to win the JUCO World Series in the seeding era. Because there are currently 562 NJCAA baseball teams, the JUCO World Series is considered to be one of the hardest titles to win in all of college sports. As for Roos himself, the 6-foot 6-inch right-handed pitcher and redshirt freshman made five appearances during the regular season, tallying six strikeouts over six innings pitched.
