Girls fall sports include volleyball, soccer, tennis, swimming and diving, and cross country.

Teams were allowed to start practices on Monday this week, and anyone who was near a local high school field, court or gym could see or hear it. In...
They didn't start out with winning in mind. But as the Small Town Kids team morphed and the Ragnar road race got closer, the team from Carlton County started looking pretty good. So good, in fact, they learned upon arrival they were seeded No. 1. Ragnar is a relay race, which starts near the capitol building in St. Paul and finishes in the Duluth Rose Garden. In between, racers take turns running on country roads, highways, the Munger Trail through Mahtowa and Carlton, Skyline Parkway in Duluth...

The Lost Forester Runs of Pine Valley return Saturday, Aug. 26. The unique event offers three choices: people can run or walk 5.5K or 11K on the ski and bike trails at the park, or take the more daunting Lost Forester 8-miler, which is a loop on the Pine Valley and Pine Valley West ski trails and on most of the mountain bike trails. There will also be times running off trail following a ribbon line. Eight-miler runners will have to collect an undetermined number of data cards with their bib...
It’s been a few weeks since I have been home due to my cancer treatments and colon infection. But I am home now and it feels good to be back here. I have a lot to catch up on, but day by day and hour by hour I will get things back in order. I am so thankful to all my friends and family who have helped me during this time. Now I am facing surgery and hopefully will have a full recovery in the coming weeks. This was definitely not the summer I was looking for back in May, but I am thankful I d...
