The Southeast Road Runners will be hosting their annual End Of The Year Awards Potluck on Jan. 28, but for most of the 2011 Empire Cup age group winners, runners up, and mid pack finishers, the running never ends.

“You will always see someone out on the roads,” SERR president Tristan Knutson-Lombardo said. “This cold snap hasn’t stopped some of the dedicated from getting out there, with appropriate running attire of course.”

Last season produced some remarkable competitors including Connor Norman, the male 8-10 age group winner.

Juneau Ski Club junior’s Naomi Moritz and Peter Peel won their respective ladies and men’s slalom races on Hillarys Course at Eaglecrest on Sunday.

Lacking only cowbells and fog horns a hearty cheering section was on hand for the Don Able’s Shirt Co. Slalom, the first U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association race of the 2012 season at Eaglecrest.

“Club athlete’s have been training and working hard this season and it showed on race day,” JSC coach Dan Ord said.

TMHS coach John Blasco said he heard good things about Palmer.

“They are big, they are tough, they can shoot and they can drive,” Blasco said before Saturday’s final game in the Thunderdome Shootout. “It will definitely be a challenge for us. It is the third night in a row and they won their first two games so we have to be ready to go.”
