This did not hamper the runners as all present continued to hold their own, either improving on or maintaining their times from last week. This is where the Raiders want to be as the postseason looms on the horizon. Lukas Hermetz continues to lead the Raider boys,...

I was an athlete and had healthy parents, so tried to be thoughtful, but I spent very little time wondering where the food we bought in the grocery store came from and what, if anything other than satisfying my hunger, my food was doing to my body When I moved to a small college town in Oregon for graduate school, I got in the habit of going down to the farmer’s mar...
