Coach Olson was hired in the spring of 2006 to be the 6th girls’ basketball coach in school history. Entering his 13th year as the head coach, Coach O has built the Jaguars into one of the strongest 4A girls basketball programs in the state of Colorado. The Jags have won 4 Jeffco league titles, played in 2 state championship games, and started the season 7 consecutive times ranked in the Top 10. His 218-90 overall record includes a 114-36 record in the always tough Jeffco league. That league record includes a dominating stretch of 5 years where the Jags went 59-4! He has been selected Jeffco Coach of the Year 4 times in girls’ basketball, was the Jeffco All Girls Coach of the Year once and was selected to coach in an all-star game sponsored by the Denver Nuggets called “The Show”. Getting to 230 wins will put Coach Olson in the Top 20 of wins by a girls’ basketball coach at one school in Colorado state history! But Coach O has coached more than just girls’ basketball. He has been the girls’ JV soccer coach at D’Evelyn for 18 years with a record of 183-66-24. The 2018-2019 season marks his 27th year coaching high school sports in Colorado. He has coached girls JV soccer at Golden and Bear Creek, boys JV soccer at D’Evelyn and Chatfield, girls JV volleyball at Conifer, boys JV basketball at Conifer and Chatfield, girls Varsity soccer at Conifer, girls JV basketball at Gunnison, and boys L3 basketball at Arvada West and Chatfield. He even coached ½ a season of softball at Conifer! As the boys Varsity soccer coach at Green Mountain he had a record of 38-8-2 and in 1996 led the team to the 5A Jeffco league championship, a #23 national ranking, and a berth in the state semifinals. Most important has been his time coaching his own kids, Kiernan and Kellen, in youth soccer, basketball, and T-ball! Comments are closed.
