ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — On this cool Friday morning, the sun felt particularly nice as it began to rise over UCHealth Training Center.
But as Luke Kellerman, an assistant turf manager for Sports Authority Field at Mile High, watched practice, the sun had not quite reached the sidewalk around the field where he was sitting in his wheelchair.
His friends in the turf department surely wouldn't have minded him sitting on the field in the warm sun, but Kellerman, now a little more than two years removed from receiving a cancer diagnosis, is still careful to preserve the grass.
