SSC holds 5K race event By Eilis McCulloh Staff Writer

Last Saturday, the Sierra Stu- dent Coalition held the Earth Day 5K race. Students, faculty, and community members participated in the event. Around 100 people registered for the race and there were 85 fin- ishers. College community mem- bers made up half of the runners ,with the other entrants coming from local communities. The 5K race took runners through the nature trail, around the labyrinth and compost piles at the Field Station before returning to campus. “We organized the course so that participants not only saw our campus, but also the Edmiston Memorial Labyrinth and the Field Station, places that are central to our club's mission and passion,” explained junior Leslie Bollibon. Chrissy Valentine, assistant di- rector of on-site programs for Titan Traverse, was the top female fin- isher with a time of 22:54. Senior Will DeLair and sopho- more Nate Hunter tied for a first place finish with a time of 20:41. In addition to the race, there were door prizes and a bake sale. Individuals and local businesses including the Silk Road, Apple Castle, and Flowers on the Vine donated baskets. Some campus or- ganizations donated goodies for the bake sale. The 5K race was the final Earth Week event planned by SSC. “It was a great way to wrap up Earth Week events and celebrate Clarence Harms and the Field Sta- tion,” senior Leanna Stitt, president of SSC, said. This is not the first year for the race. It first took place in 2005, and this year marks its return to Earth week celebrations. SSC plans to continue it every year. SSC had beautiful weather for the race and is grateful for the sup- port from the campus and com- munity. “We are appreciative of all sup- port from the campus and com- munity. We hope that it will be a success in the future,” Stitt said. “The Earth Day 5k was a really exciting event for the SSC and we are really happy with how it went,” Bollibon added. Eighty percent of the benefits will go to beautifying the Field Sta- tion and funding a summer envi- ronmental education program for underprivileged elementary school children. Stitt hopes that the race will en- courage people to “Think Globally. Act Locally.” Inside EVEN page - holcad (24”) 20060829cad
