Fast finish sparks LHS boys to third at state CC
October 31, 2010
Zach Andregg finished 18th in the Class 6A boys race (16:34:60), not quite fast enough to catch Free State’s Kain Anderson (10th place, 16:26:40) or FSHS senior Logan Sloan (15th place, 16:29:40). Collectively, though, the Lions showed their strength down the stretch to earn a third-place team finish at the 2010 Cross Country State Championship on Saturday at Rim Rock Farm.
Three of four city cross country squads make state
October 24, 2010
Lawrence High’s girls placed third with 99 points to earn the final state-qualifying position. Free State, with 100 points, was fourth and did not qualify as a team — the only one of four city squads at the cross country regional not to earn a team state berth.
Free State’s Robinson, LHS boys third at Sunflower League
October 17, 2010
Before Saturday’s race, Free State junior runner Lynn Robinson made a friendly wager with a friend, who happens to be a professional chef. If Robinson finished in the top three, he’d make whatever meal she wanted. If she failed to place in the top 10, though, she’d be stuck wearing a goofy outfit to school and practice next week. Talk about motivation.

Coaches excited about freshmen moving
April 29, 2010
Bob Lisher has experienced the benefits of coaching in a four-class high school system, so when Lawrence school board members voted this week to make the transition from a three-year high school system to a four-year system — subsequently allowing all ninth-grade students to participate in high school athletics for the first time — the Free State football coach wasn’t exactly complaining. Quite the opposite, actually.
