Midfielder Kiki Boone will play women’s lacrosse at the University of Denver this season. She was voted a U.S. Lacrosse All-American and U.S. Lacrosse Academic All-American during her senior year at Cherry Creek High School in 2011. 

Boone scored 33 goals and had 18 assists in 2010 when Cherry Creek won the Colorado state championship. Cherry Creek finished the 2010 season ranked No. 1 in the West. She was selected to the Colorado academic all-state team and the All-Centennial League first team.

Boone was also a two-year letter winner as an outside hitter for Cherry Creek's top-ranked volleyball team in 2009 and 2008. She is a high honors student, and a member of National Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society.

Perfect last name.

Doesn't need a costume, either.

Perhaps just the hat...

She was born to be a Pioneer.

Welcome aboard, Kiki.

And most of you old men have t-shirts older than she is...

I think I'm in love.

This helps ease the pain after Hemmings graduated.

Who cares about hockey?? We want more Boone!!!

Listen, I'm all about DU and appreciate the hell out of this forum, but I've got to say that the obvious leering and thinly veiled innuendo directed at this young woman (presumably without her having ANY knowledge of it), is a little......disconcerting.

I duuno. Maybe I'm crazy, but imagine if Kiki were your daughter...or sister...

Just sayin'.

(And the sheets of internet flame shall begin raining down on me in 3....2....1....)

This is the first time I could honestly ever say that Boone could ride my pine anytime...

Ring,

DG knew exactly what he was doing when he posted that photo. Come on now.....

@ Anon 5:26:

Of course he did...doesn't mean I have to like it, though.

I understand that this is DG's blog and he can do with it what he chooses; but, by providing an unmoderated forum for responses, that also means that I can publicly register my disapproval with the way this was posted.

Now, I know I'm coming across as a prude and somewhat of a kill-joy; but I just think that posting a picture of an obviously attractive 18 year old girl and all but begging posters to respond with commentary on her relative merits as a masturbatory fantasy is juvenile and, frankly, ridiculous...particularly when the object of such posting is (presumably) unaware of the somewhat dubious honor bestowed upon her.

Again. It's DG's blog and he can do what he wants. I just know that I'd be EXTREMELY pissed if I were Kiki's dad...or brother.

Anyway. Displeasure successfully registered, I'm done with this topic. I'll go ahead and don my Nomex suit to protect me from the flames I'm sure to receive...

Cheers.

Take a look at the photo in the beginning of the YouTube video. Presumably the video was paid for and distributed by the young ladies' family.

The DU athletics website publishes photos of attractive female athletes or teams all the time.

Could it be considered borderline sexist under by some? Probably.

Would anyone know or care about Danica Patrick, David Beckham, Mia Hamm, Sue Hope or Monica Sharapova and many others if not for their looks?

Your points are well taken, but not agreed with.

Here's a demographic stat for the DU marketing dept. Truth be told, I didn't know Denver HAD a female Lacrosse team. I'm here for the ice hockey. I've followed the Men's LAX team a little bit, just because of thier success. but A Lacrosse fam I am not.

"...Monica Sharapova..."

Does Maria have a hot sister? Please post a pic of her too!

DG was the driving force behind Boone's physical ressurection on campus two years ago.

And the young fetaured DU athlete's name is Boone.

DG would have likely featured her just for her name alone.

The fact that she's attractive is a nice bonus.

Nobody is being exploited here. If I were Kiki or her family, or her coaches, I would be thrilled to see this...

Monica… Maria… Who cares? Forgive DG’s typo. He was posting his comment while whacking his pud!

...Hope Solo. I assume you meant and not Sue Hope. I know who she is because I like soccer. But, I think the typos on Hope and Monica perfectly illustrate your point.

I think the connection to "Boone" is perfectly reasonable and kinda cool.

Everyone reacts differently, but I remember Hope Solo saying something like "if people only watch the games because they think I'm hot that's fine with me. The more people watching, the better".

Like the person said above, I didn't even know we had a female lacrosse team. Now I know. All in all, that's a good thing.
