When is a sport not a sport? There are many different aspects in running a long distance race.

The "Girls on the Run" program teaches these lessons to young girls from 3rd to 8th grades. But the Girls on the Run program's not just a sports training program. Girls on the Run is a skills and life learning program. The...

Kill shots were going long and some of the sets were a bit too close to the net and...

The Pine Bluffs/Burns cross country track team left on Friday morning–not early which was lovely. The team always starts state day with an EARLY team run. This has been a tradition since long before Coach Rousseau took over. Coach said, “This tradition is one of my favorites, despite me being the opposite of a morning person.” The initial outside meet-up is always grumpy, but within a few moments they are giggling together outside. They found a park in the dark–a couple of loops around, some plyos, and a couple of games of infection and the...
