Lafayette Jeff scored 31 points to runner-up McCutcheon’s 88. The Mavericks received all-conference efforts from fifth-place Adam Fields and sixth-place Justin Berryman. Harrison made it a Tippecanoe County sweep of the top three, led by Charlie Brinkerhoff’s All-NCC run of 17:11.7, good for 10th place.

Popular New Exercise App Just Tells Users They Ran 5 Miles A Day No Matter What

*** I'f only it were this easy! Of course, life is lived between the start and finish lines. There are no shortcuts!

LOS ALTOS, CA—Having reached nearly 2 million downloads within its first month of release, the new smartphone app ProMiler has quickly become one of the nation’s most popular exercise tools by informing users that they ran five miles each day no matter what, the app’s creators told reporters Friday. “With ProMiler, achieving your exercise goals is as simple as turning on your device in the morning and being notified that you’ve already run five miles,” ProMiler spokesman John Lyons said while demonstrating the app, which uses advanced GPS technology to display a new, randomly generated five-mile running route near the user’s location every day. “The more you take advantage of ProMiler, the better runner you become, as the app automatically reduces your running time by several seconds per day. And with our ‘Calories Burned’ counter staying fixed at the number 1,000 each day, 100 percent of our users report hitting their fitness targets. The results speak for themselves.” Officials added that the app comes pre-synced with Facebook, allowing users to automatically post their time and running route on their feed for all their friends to see.

Sunnyside Intermediate wraps up another great XC season

This week marks our 7th and final week of our Lafayette Sunnyside Intermediate School Intramural Cross Country Club. We've had a great time learning the sport of XC and working all our different styles of workouts (speed-work, endurance, time-base, distance-based, etc). And, we've especially had fun hanging out with our friends.

As a special treat, we got the chance to run with the Jefferson High XC Team yesterday. Strangely enough, some of our fastest times were reached with the Jeff runners present. Thanks goes out to Jeff Coaches Howell, Blocher & Fischer for taking the time to inspire us. 

Special Thanks goes out to Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Beasley for all your contributions to this program. Your assistance has made all the difference.
