Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Sunday, February 22nd. What a vibrant weekend its been in our mountain town, with Buffs dominating the sports scene and plenty of ways to shake off the winter chill today. Lets dive right in.

CU Boulder athletics delivered back-to-back thrills yesterday at home. The womens basketball Buffs edged out No. 20 Texas Tech 75-68 at the CU Events Center, forcing 19 turnovers and holding strong despite the Lady Raiders hot shooting. That sets them up nicely in the Big 12 race. Not to be outdone, the mens team crushed Oklahoma State 83-69, jumping to a 25-8 lead early with five quick threes and never looking back, thanks to 17 points from Bangot Dak and 16 from Barrington Hargress. Over on Kittredge Field, No. 18 womens lacrosse exploded for a 17-5 rout of Towson, with Teagan Ryan netting six goals to hit double digits on the season and nine scorers contributing. These wins arent just stats, theyre fueling campus energy and drawing fans who know Boulder sports build community pride that lasts all year.

If youre craving culture today, head to Macky Auditorium this evening for the CU Honor Band Spring Concert, where top middle and high school musicians from across Colorado perform under guest conductors, featuring pieces by composers like Malcolm Arnold and Steven Bryant. Its a free showcase of young talent that reminds us why Boulders music scene starts early. Music lovers, dont miss The 502s with Harf at the Fox Theatre tonight, a folk-indie vibe perfect for cozying up, or catch Daniel Donatos Cosmic Country blending guitar wizardry with psychedelia at Boulder Theater tomorrow, all-ages and family-friendly.

For active fun, kick off your morning at Avalon Ballroom with Movement Mass from 10:45 to noon, a $20 to $24 dance session that gets bodies moving and spirits high. Runners, lace up for the Highlands Ranch 5k or 10k just south of us today, a scenic way to log miles before spring trails open. Yesterday wrapped with Mah Jongg Boot Camp in east Boulder, so if tiles intrigue you, check Mountain Mah Jongg for ongoing play.

Locally, Colorados union membership dipped 22 percent last year, possibly tied to federal worker changes, but buzz remains with rallies at Denver Art Museum and new unions at Casa Bonita, showing labor fights impact everyday workers here. Heat pump installs doubled statewide in 2025, helping Boulderites cut energy bills amid flat rents projected for 2026. A federal tweak might limit foreign scientists at NIST, rippling through our quantum hub.

From Buffs highs to dance floors calling, Boulders alive with connection. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
