Colfax-Mingo to add girls soccer in 2025

Colfax-Mingo’s time with the Central Iowa United girls soccer program has come to end.

Due to steady growth and a first-class facility, the school has elected to launch its own Tigerhawk girls soccer team starting in the spring of 2025.

“We have the numbers and the allocated resources to make it happen,” Colfax-Mingo Superintendent Tim Salmon said. “The program is growing enough to have sustainability.”

Salmon added that boys soccer players from Colfax-Mingo will continue to play for Central Iowa United for now.

“One of my issues is travel,” Salmon said. “I don’t like our kids traveling 35 minutes to practice.”

A search for a head coach will begin immediately and the board’s vote was 7-0, according to Salmon.

The original Central Iowa United rosters were made up of players from Colfax-Mingo, Baxter, Collins-Maxwell, West Marshall and Colo-NESCO. East Marshall has since joined the group.

Baxter made a decision in the offseason to also break away from the sharing agreement.

But Baxter Activities Director Dennis Vaughn has since stated that the Bolts are considering all options.

Salmon said Baxter has reached out to them about playing at Colfax-Mingo, but no decision has been made.
