The Mile High Club -- the all-star team of the Denver Roller Dolls roller derby league -- and the Rocky Mountain Roller Girls traveled to California over the weekend of October 1-3 to play in the WFTDA (Women's Flat Track Derby Association) 2010 championships. Rocky Mountain defeated Oly Rollers (Olympia, Washington) and ended that team's 22-game winning streak, while the Rat City Rollergirls (Seattle, Washington) defeated the Denver Roller Dolls. The Roller Dolls also defeated the Jet City Roller Girls (Everett, Washington), while the Bay Area Derby Girls defeated the Denver Roller Dolls. Rocky Mountain defeated Jet City.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
