Baldwin High junior Megan Noonan seems to have a fingernail polish for every season.

Noonan, who sported pumpkin orange polish late last season, donned a new color on Saturday at the Jayhawk Invitational at Rim Rock, where she placed fourth in the big-class 5-kilometer race in 19:38.76.

"Orange is more of a regional and state color," Noonan said. "I went with mountain dew (Saturday). I guess it worked."

  • SFT coach reaches milestone: Susan Averill, now in her 20th season coaching Santa Fe Trail volleyball, posted her 600th career victory on Tuesday at the Lansing triangular. The Chargers, off to an 8-0 start, beat Lansing, 15-4, 15-6, for the milestone victory and then upended Leavenworth Immaculata, 15-7, 15-5. Averill's career record is 601-72.

  • Cross country teams ranked: Defending Class 4A state champion Baldwin is the No. 1 boys team in the latest coaches' cross country poll. The Wellsville boys are ranked seventh in Class 3A. In the girls' 4A poll, Ottawa is ranked second and Baldwin seventh.

  • Wellsville hits road: Wellsville takes its cross country, or at least its cross state, seriously. The Eagles' cross country teams will leave today for Stanton County in southwestern Kansas for a Saturday meet. By the time Wellsville returns home, it will have racked up 800 miles.

  • DeSoto soccer listed: DeSoto, 6-2 following Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Kansas City Piper, is ranked ninth in the coaches' Class5-1A boys soccer poll.

  • Tonganoxie tourney set: Tonganoxie High's annual volleyball tournament is set for Saturday. The all-day 10-team event starts at 8 a.m.
