Eastern Washington University track coaches did not need to go far to recruit a sprint star. Just a 10-mile trip down Salnave Road to Medical Lake netted them Lexi Rolan.

Among the proof was Rolan being named Big Sky Conference Female Freshman of the Year. Rolan made her first appearance at the league's indoor championship Feb. 22-24 in Flagstaff,...

We journalists do a lot of legwork in producing stories for you to read. I mean that literally when it comes to sports. But we also rely on sources outside the newsroom. Sources who might provide insights into local topics, and sources who keep tabs on what people who used to live in this community are doing in the great big world out yonder. In this case, I’m speaking of the latter. I’m blessed to have someone who tracks what former Cheney High School athletes are doing out there in the collegiate world and takes the tim...
