The Dodson Cross Country team only welcomed back one returning runner this season, but the team had ballooned to eight runners, giving Dodson Head Coach Tianna Bloomer plenty of reasons for optimism this year.

The Penguins set out for Havre on Saturday for the Havre Invitational held at Prairie Farms Golf Course. This course is a mostly flat run, alternating between grass and golf cart paths on a two-loop route. It was about 65 degrees when the girls were set to run and no wind. We could not have asked for a nicer day! I'm hoping all of our meets end up being this nice, fingers crossed. Both girls were looking to cut some time with splits faster than the last week. Shelbi wanted to go for 6.35 splits...

The Lady Penguins headed to Kalispell last Friday for the Flathead Invite. This meet is held on Rebecca Farms, an equestrian course on the Northern side of Kalispell. You are surrounded by Mountains. It's a beautiful area to run. The girls run out in an open field and the entire course is on grass. Some of the grass was actually pretty tall so the most challenging part of the race was navigating the tall grass and uneven ground. It's a two-loop course that has one hill that is about 400 meters...

The Penguins kicked off their season heading to Wolf Point on Friday. We've had ten solid practices so I was pretty confident the girls would have a successful first meet. I think this is the hardest I've run kids in the first couple of weeks, but I've got two returning veterans that I knew could handle the miles and they hung in there. Ava Hanley was my only runner on Saturday morning as Shelbi LaBrie was not feeling well. It was an absolutely beautiful day for a run, about 65 degrees and no...

The Trafton Park Arena gave spectators one last night of rodeo before the school year began in Malta, as close to 40 cowboys performed at the Fourth Annual Craig Mangis Memorial Rough Stock Rodeo last Saturday. "Very good rodeo, I felt," Trafton Arena Committee President Jerey McEwen told the PCN.
