SmartWool announced that it will use a design by Soda Creek fifth-grader Surina Techarukpong, center, for a sock that will be available in spring 2010 as part of the Kids4Kids collection. The company, which is based in Steamboat Springs, held a contest earlier this year at Soda Creek and Manhattan Middle School in Boulder, where the companies design center is located. Several designs produced by Soda Creek students were used for prototypes, but the company picked Techarukpong's for the girls sock. A student from Boulder's design was used for the boys sock. Other students from Soda Creek who had their designs made into socks included, counter-clockwise from left, Ty Kortas, Mikayla Totman, Connor Frasier and Abigail Wiedel.
