Narrative:

Training on runway 35L. 1 full stop taxi back, then touch- and-goes. Tower issued runway clearance on short final all times except for full stop. Requested full stop on crosswind, tower issued landing clearance for runway 35R, acknowledged runway 35R. On short final center cleared into position to hold runway 35R. Tower asked if we were lined up on runway 35R. We were in flare. After landing, tower said clearance was for runway 35L. We replied no, it was for runway 35R. Both pilots confirmed landing clearance prior to landing. Centennial tower does get busy. Tower does a great job most of the time. Recommend renaming runways 17/35, 18/36 to prevent any further confusion.
