Outlaws will fight for
another volleyball title
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Lady Outlaws return
just three seniors to their
squad this season, and the
new additions will round
out the 11-player roster.
The team had to quarantine
earlier this season, and the
home game schedule for
Tuesday August 31 against
Crook County has been
canceled.
Seniors Greta Davis,
Sydney Myhre, and Maddie
Pollard are all back for their
final season and will bring
experience and leadership to
the team this year.
Davis returns as a four-
year varsity starter, and
last year was voted co-
MVP of the Oregon West
Conference. She is a strong,
explosive, accurate hitter
and will bring a powerful
attack and quickness to the
Outlaws9 offense as an out-
side hitter. Davis will be a
huge threat to opponents on
offense as well as defense.
Myhre will play as a
right-side hitter and also
a defensive specialist this
year. She has been a varsity
player since her freshman
year and has worked hard
in the off-season to become
quicker and stronger. Myhre
has incredible court aware-
ness and coaches will look
to her for leadership on the
floor. She9s got the ability to
play any position and will
also be a threat to any team
the Outlaws play.
Pollard is a three-year
varsity player and a defen-
sive specialist. Maddie has
worked hard to establish
herself as the Lady Outlaws9
anchor in the back row.
Our seniors
will be surrounded
by a group of athletic
and competitive
volleyball players.
— Coach Rory Rush
She reads the ball well and
approaches each opportunity
with a calm and competitive
disposition.
Senior Bre Winter (out-
side hitter), a transfer from
Washington, joints the team
this year. She will bring
power to the outside hitting
position and enthusiasm to
the court. Coach Rory Rush
sees Winter as a great addi-
tion to the program. He is
happy to have her.
Other new additions
include juniors Hannah
Fendall, Skylar Hartford,
Anna Landon; and sopho-
mores Gracie Vohs, Gracelyn
Myhre, Bailey Robertson,
and Mia Monaghan.
<Our seniors will be sur-
rounded by a group of ath-
letic and competitive vol-
leyball players,= said Rush.
<They will add depth to our
roster and we look forward
to seeing great things from
them this season.=
Rush added, <We are
excited to get started and
we are looking to fight for a
league title once again this
season.=
Happy
Labor
Day!

the winner, Blake Hilty, a
39-year-old from Seattle.
<The weather was great,
only a bit hot for a short
while,= he said, <and the
course was great. I am very
happy with the event. The
support was great. I loved it.=
The race was only Hilty9s
second 100-miler, and he had
to smile when he realized
that by winning the inaugural
staging of the race he auto-
matically became the course
record holder.
<I guess I can enjoy that
for at least one year,= he said.
Hilty9s official time was 18
hours, 39 minutes.
The women9s winner, Erin
Brunner, also of Seattle, fin-
ished in 22 hours, 31 minutes.
Runners had up to 32
hours to complete the course.
Approximately 200 people
registered for the event, but
that total number of finish-
ers was not available at press
time. Results can be found at

<Most of our races are
mountain runs at this point,
but they are all over, includ-
ing one out near Sumpter,
another up on the Santiam

operates the Three Sisters
Skyline 50k (31.1 miles) and
half-marathon (13.1 miles)
that is based in Sisters. The
<Run the Rock= races series
takes place in November and
covers two days and four dis-
tances including a half mara-
thon, a 50k, a 20-mile, and a
50-mile.
Taylor sees the race as a
win for everyone involved.
<STA is the sole beneficiary
financially from this race,=
she said. <They do such
important work and we are
able to have access to their
trails, so it naturally makes
sense for us to support them.
And honestly, having mem-
bers of STA actually on
the course helping with the
aid stations is another way
for their members to come
7
together.=
Taylor, who coaches
Ridgeview High School9s
cross-country team, noted that
racers came from well beyond
the local area, bringing tourist
dollars to Sisters and Bend.
<People love coming to
this part of Oregon, and hav-
ing an event like this draws
people in from all over, which
is a good thing for the econ-
omy,= Taylor said.
Taylor and Hostetler will
be back in Sisters for the Three
Sisters Skyline trail races,
which include a half-mara-
thon on Saturday, September
25, and a 50-kilometer run on
Sunday, September 26. More
information can be found at
www.alpinerunning.com.
The Skyline races will benefit
Sisters Trails Alliance.
Definitely the place
