A raccoon was spotted in the Rose Garden next to the auditorium at Pueblo today. Many Warriors were curious to see the black, white and grey creature nap in the trees. Students used their mobile phones to snap pictures of our furry friend.

Pest Control was called to capture the raccoon and release it in his natural habitat. After several attempts to trap him, the raccoon clawed his way up a 50 foot palm tree were he is napping peacefully.

The pest control specialist said the raccoon would climb down on his own during the still of the night and head back where he came from.

Here’s a short video of a failed attempt to trap the raccoon and him running into another tree:

During the football game versus the Cholla Chargers, senior Ruben Canastillo broke the record for longest interception return for a touchdown. Ruben intercepted a pass on the 2 yard line and took it 98 yards for the score.

The previous record was held by Charles Quihuis (Bowerman) 1971 & Robert Greene (Bowerman) 1975 both for 90 yards.

Here’s the video:

Ruben was very excited to find he had broken the record. “I just read the quarterbacks eyes and broke on the play,” he said. He received a plaque and his name will be added to the football record books.
