FAIRBANKS, AK-Get you're running shoes on Interior. The running season is underway. With the Beat Beethoven 5K race and Spring Fling already complete, more local and area running events are on the horizon.
In fact tomorrow is the 33rd annual Tok Trot. The 10K out and back race is along the Alaska Highway and the Tok area. The start and finish is at the Tok Visitors Information Center. Nice thing about that is after the race is over a catered lunch at Kelley's restaurant. The walkers start at noon and the runners at one o' clock.
NORTH POLE, AK-It's always good to see high schoolers progress and make important decisions regarding their promising futures. Today three North Pole athletes signed national letters of intent. In the Patriots library flanked by their parents the three Ws. Laura Wolfe, Ashley Wilkes and Ryan Wicklund signed the papers.
FAIRBANKS, AK-The Playoffs continue for the Ice Dogs and now the onus is Fairbanks to return the favor. The Brown Bears were able to get a split of the first two games of this five game series. In these two games the shots on goal are virtually the same 52-51 with the slightest edge going to Kenai.
Both teams have tightened their defense for the playoffs. The total goals scored in the last two regular season games between the two rivals was 12. In these playoffs 7. The losing team has only been able to score one goal.
FAIRBANKS, AK-The snow and ice is melting or starting to melt but not fast enough. The Mini B meet for area track and field teams scheduled for this Friday and Saturday at West Valley High School has been cancelled due to the conditions of the track and field.
This is the second local track event that has been cancelled.
The next scheduled meet is next week for field and track events at Monroe and West Valley.
