The estimated jackpot is now $25 million.
As listed at www.oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites
Roti calculated that the old
snowcat depreciated at a rate of
$13,000 per year.
“All of our funds go to
grooming,” Roti said. “It’s a
volunteer-run club, but we do
contract with two professional
groomers, who run the snow-
cat for us. So we pay for labor,
diesel fuel and maintenance on
the snowcat. One year we spent
$20,000 just on maintenance.”
The snowcat grooms wide
trails for skate skiing and sets
tracks for classic skiing simul-
taneously. The new snowcat
has the ability to control the
left and right tracks inde-
pendently, which helps prevent
the digging up of snow, and
even dirt, on tight corners.

Even after pushing the
cross-country season back to
2021, the Big Ten still must
deal with the ramifications of
the pandemic.
Michigan put its entire ath-
letic department on pause this
week after several positive tests
for a new COVID-19 variant
that transmits at a higher rate,
which means the Wolverines
won’t be competing Saturday.
Michigan finished third in the
men’s and women’s divisions
in 2019 but won three straight
women’s conference titles from
2016-18.
“In my opinion, the Big Ten
championships without the

ing the same speed and you
would get some spinning on
sharp corners,” Roti explained.
“Before it could actually dig up
some dirt on an inside corner
if the snow was not that deep.”

Michigan men and women is
a diluted championships,” said
Byrne, whose Badgers won the
men’s division and finished
second to Michigan State in the
women’s division in 2019.
Veatch said the biggest
complication in having a
cross-country season at this
time of year isn’t the weather.
He’s more concerned about
the cross-country season co-
inciding with the indoor track
season.
Many cross-country run-
ners also compete in indoor
track, but the length of their
races varies. For instance,
men’s cross-country runners
generally compete in the mile,
the 3-kilometer run or the 5K
in indoor track. The Big Ten
men’s cross-country cham-
pionships are an 8-kilometer
event for men and 6 kilome-
ters for women. The NCAA
championships go 10 kilome-
ters for the men and 6 for the
women.
That has created a training
dilemma for runners. Veatch
notes that “while some peo-
ple think it’s the same thing
— we’re just running — it’s
quite different disciplines (in)
cross-country versus track.”
“We’re just trying to walk
that very thin line of what can
make us the best at both cur-
rently,” said Veatch, who noted
the team aspect of competi-
tion: “We don’t feel it’s right or
fair to our sprinters, throwers,
jumpers or vaulters in indoor

surer, is ecstatic about the new
snowcat.
“It’s newer, it’s got better
technology and it does a bet-
ter job of grooming the trails,”
Katz said. “It’s more fuel effi-
cient. All those things add up
and make it a nice purchase
for us.”
Trails at Meissner are sched-
uled to be groomed six days a
week through March 31, per
Meissner Nordic’s contract
with the Deschutes National
Forest.
Recent snowfall has put the
trails at Meissner in prime con-
dition, according to Katz.
“They’re really nice,” Katz
said. “No more icy skating
rink. Just enough snow to get
some of the lower trails open
again.”

track jut to say, ‘Hey, we’re
going to go focus solely on
cross-country.’”
The calendar is crowded
for the track and field athletes
across college sports: The Pac-
12, Big East and several other
leagues are holding their con-
ference championships March
5, which is 10 days before the
NCAA championships in Still-
water, Oklahoma.
But the Big Ten indoor track
championships are Feb. 26-27
and the NCAA indoor cham-
pionships are March 12-13.
“It was just so much inten-
sity in a sequence,” Michigan
State coach Lisa Breznau said.
“(We thought) really having it
earlier might be the better idea
for us.”
SPORTS BRIEFING
BASKETBALL
Iconic Temple coach John Chaney dies at 89 — John
Chaney, the legendary Temple University basketball coach, the
very face of the school on North Broad Street for a generation
and an icon of his sport, died Friday at age 89. Chaney had led
Temple to five appearances in the NCAA Elite Eight, the last trip
in 2001, the year he was inducted to the Naismith Memorial Bas-
ketball Hall of Fame. In addition to 17 trips to the NCAA Tour-
nament with the Owls, Chaney won a Division II national title
at Cheyney University. Funeral services were pending. Known
for his sometimes fiery temperament, his early morning prac-
tices, his unique matchup zone defense, his aversion to turnovers,
and his fierce devotion to offering a hand to lift those who most
needed it most, Chaney retired in 2006 after winning 741 games
between Cheyney and Temple. “A man who lived his life the way
he wanted, and will be remembered for his service,” said Phila-
delphia Simon Gratz High coach Lynard Stewart, who played for
Chaney at Temple. “He’s one of a kind,” said Bruiser Flint, now a
Kentucky assistant coach. Flint first met Chaney as a 10-year-old
at his basketball camp, and later went up against him coaching
Massachusetts and Drexel. “There’s never going to be another
John Chaney.”
