At SimplyBe., we strive to keep ourselves and our clients 100% integrated.
It means 100% authentic and true personal branding.
If you're truly integrated, then you are the same person on the street as you are at work, at home, and in class, and you are representing yourself online, just as you are in person. If I read a blog you wrote yesterday about mindfulness and I bump into you today at a coffee shop and I ask you about it, I should get the same information from you. The same nuances, the same opinions, the same vulnerability, the same you.
No fluff, no clickbait, no false advertising. Just 100% true YOU.
Not to be dramatic, but I recently attended the greatest rock show of my life. I saw Foo Fighters at Wrigley Field in Chicago, and it was a life-changing experience. For perspective: my first dance with my Dad at my wedding was the acoustic version of Times Like These.
I was first introduced to the Nirvana-drummer-turned-Foo Fighters-frontman behind the mastery, Mr. David Grohl himself, on Liam Lynch's once-upon-a-time podcast, Lynchland, circa 2006. Dave made an appearance in one of the episodes and he stuck with me. He was an absolute HOOT, incredibly genuine and, overall, radiated positivity. Before having the exact word for it way back when, all I could think about was how authentic he was. He was genuinely himself and his energy was contagious. He also happened to make incredible music which with, after experiencing Dave, the totally integrated person, I fell even deeper in love.
Fast forward a few years and Foo Fighters released Sonic Highways on HBO. As an homage to their 20 years as a band and their eighth album, Dave produced this show celebrating music history in the U.S. Each episode took place in a different city that helped shape the music industry—Chicago, Nashville, Austin, and L.A., to name a few. They documented the recording of each song that appears on the album from a different iconic recording studio across the country.
If that's not art, I don't know what is.
Fast forward to just this past July, and there I am, sandwiched between thousands of people at Wrigley Field, a mere 20 feet from the man himself. The person I saw on that stage was the same passionate, energetic, crazy person I saw in Sonic Highways, the same goofy, happy, genuine guy I saw on Lynchland, and the same person I miss EVERY TIME he comes through Chicago and visits Piece Pizza. But I digress.
Dave Grohl brought his FULL self to the two hours that they played on stage that night (and it was their second night in a row at Wrigley, mind you), along with an unmistakable passion for his art, and an unshakeable love for his fans. He put his heart into the performance that night and it was magnificent to see someone that big, that well-known, that talented, that fearless, be so genuine.
Dave Grohl is 100% integrated. Who he is on any given media channel, performance, interview, show, you name it, is the same authentic guy you're going to see in person.
Integration is real, and it's achievable.
So how do you become integrated?
Don't be afraid to be vulnerable. If you're going through it, chances are someone else is too. As one of our clients, Alan Burak, put it: "If you can change one life, you change the world." This is not an invitation to emotionally vomit all over the internet: this is an invitation to look within and share your unique perspective. That is where your unique value lies! You can't achieve thought leadership without sharing your true thoughts.
It sounds easy but sometimes we forget who we are and we get swept away in coffee table flatlays, photo-editing, and trending topics. Remember that not only does authenticity cut through the noise, it's going to help you build an organic, quality audience both on- and off-line that is going to help grow your brand and your business.
If I wasn't sure before, I'm sure of it now: I am a Dave Grohl fan for life. As an integrated human being and artist, he proved to me that you can still be a big deal AND be true to you.
I just need the chance to tell him in person at Piece one of these days.

Arias de Ávila, Pedro pā´ᵺrō ä´ryäs dā ä´vēlä [key], known as Pedrarias pāᵺrä´ryäs [key], c.1440–1531, Spanish colonial administrator. He was sent (1514) as governor to Darién (now part of Panama), then under the rule of Vasco Núñez de Balboa . A long quarrel between the two ended with Balboa's execution. Pedrarias's administration was notoriously harsh and cruel, but he extended the Spanish dominions and founded (1519) Panama City; he first aided, but later hindered, Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro in their conquest of Peru. His name also appears as Pedrarias Dávila.

Armstrong Whitworth Siskin
The Armstrong Whitworth Siskin was a British biplane single-seat fighter aircraft of the 1920s produced by Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft. The Siskin was one of the first new RAF fighters to enter service after the First World War; it was noted for its aerobatic qualities.

The design was a development of the Siddeley-Deasy S.R.2 Siskin designed by Major F. M. Green (formerly chief engineer of the Royal Aircraft Factory) of the Siddeley-Deasy Motor Car Company, to meet the requirements of RAF Specification Type 1 for a single-seat fighter powered by the promising ABC Dragonfly radial engine.[2]
The SR.2 Siskin was a single-bay biplane of wood and fabric construction. Its wings were of unequal span and the aircraft was fitted with a distinctive fixed conventional landing gear with long oleo strut shock absorbers carrying the axle, which was connected by radius rods to a pair of V-struts situated behind the axle. The Dragonfly engine was fitted in a streamlined cowling to reduce drag, with individual cooling channels for each engine cylinder. Two Vickers machine guns were mounted in the nose decking in front of the pilot.[3][4]
The Siskin first flew in May 1919, powered by a Dragonfly engine delivering 270 hp (200 kW), rather than the promised 320 hp (240 kW).[3] Despite the expectations piled on it, the Dragonfly proved to be a disaster, far less powerful than expected and very unreliable, being prone to overheating and catastrophic vibration, that would normally cause crankshaft failure within a few hours.[5] Despite the engine problems, the Siskin displayed good performance and handling, outmatching its Dragonfly-powered contemporaries.[6]
In 1919, Siddeley-Deasy merged with Armstrong Whitworth, with the aviation interests becoming Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft.[7] Siddeley-Deasy had inherited the design of the RAF.8 fourteen-cylinder radial engine and its designer Sam D. Heron, and by 1920 this engine, now known as the Jaguar, had been developed sufficiently to be a possible replacement for the Dragonfly.[8] One of the prototype Siskins was fitted with a Jaguar, flying in this form on 20 March 1921.[3]
In 1922 Air Ministry Specification 14/22 was issued for an all-metal single-seat high performance landplane and one Jaguar-powered prototype was ordered from Armstrong Whitworth.[9] As well as re-engining with the Jaguar, Major Green redesigned the Siskin with an all-metal structure, as the Siskin III. The change from wood to metal construction was a requirement of the Air Ministry war production plan which would use the motor car industry for aircraft production, something which would not have been possible using wood. The all-metal Siskin was the start of a general transition to metal for military aircraft to enable a rapid increase in aircraft production when required to meet wartime demand.[10] A contract for three production aircraft was placed on 13 October 1922 with a further six ordered on 26 January 1923 including one as a prototype of a two-seat variant.[11] The Siskin III first flew on 7 May 1923,[12] with first deliveries to the RAF (six for evaluation) taking place in January 1924. The fighter was the first all-metal fighter in the British Royal Air Force.
Following the order from the RAF, Romania ordered 65 aircraft but they were cancelled following a crash on takeoff at Whitley Abbey, Coventry, on 18 February 1925 during acceptance tests; the Romanian pilot being killed.[13]
The main production version was the Siskin IIIA ordered in 1926,[14] which originally was powered with a Jaguar IV engine, but was later re-engined with the supercharged Jaguar IVA engine. The supercharger, a novel idea at the time, had little effect on performance below 10,000 ft (3,050 m), but it greatly improved speed and climb above that height.[13] Following an evaluation of two Siskin IIIs the Royal Canadian Air Force ordered 12 IIIAs which were delivered between 1926 and 1931.
With Armstrong-Whitworth busy building the Armstrong Whitworth Atlas some of the later Siskin IIIA production was sub-contracted out to Blackburn, Bristol, Gloster, and Vickers.
Operational history
RAF Service
The first Siskin IIIs were delivered to No. 41 Squadron RAF at RAF Northolt in May 1924,[12] quickly followed by No. 111 Squadron RAF. The Siskin III was popular in service, being highly manoeuvrable, although slightly underpowered. The improved Siskin IIIA was first delivered to No. 111 Squadron in September 1926.[15] The Siskin was used by 11 RAF squadrons. The last operational RAF Siskins were replaced in October 1932 by Bristol Bulldogs.[15]
The Siskin presented exhibitions of flying at every RAF display from 1925 to 1931.
The ski-equipped second Siskin II aircraft was sold to the Royal Swedish Air Force in 1925.[16]
Canada used the aircraft from 1926 until 1939. In 1926, the British Air Ministry sent two Siskin IIIs to Canada for testing by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) under winter flying conditions. The test pilot was Clennell H. Dickins. The Siskin was considered a modern type when it was acquired by RCAF, which eventually purchased the Mark IIIA, used to equip the Fighter Flight at Camp Borden and Trenton. In 1937, the Flight became No. I (Fighter) Squadron and was transferred from Trenton to Calgary in August 1938.
Siskin aircraft remained with this unit until the outbreak of the Second World War, eventually to be replaced by Hawker Hurricanes in 1939. The airframes were then turned over to various technical establishments for use as instructional airframes.
Like its RAF counterparts, in 1929, a three-plane Siskin air demonstration team was formed at Camp Borden, Ontario – the RCAF's first official flight demonstration team.[17] The aerobatic team put on popular solo and formation displays from coast to coast.[18]
Air racing
The Siskin was used as a successful racing aircraft, a Siskin V flown by Flight Lieutenant Barnard winning the 1925 Kings Cup Race at a speed of more than 151 mph (243 km/h).[19]
Siddeley Deasy S.R.2 Siskin – Prototype fighter aircraft built by Siddeley-Deasy and powered by Dragonfly engine. Three built.[4]
Siskin II – fabric covered steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings. Two built, one two-seater and one single-seater.[20]
Siskin III – all-metal production version (64 built for RAF[21])
Siskin IIIA – main production variant ordered in 1926[14] (Total 348 built, 340 for RAF, eight for RCAF[21])
Siskin IIIB – prototype with improved engine. Single example converted from Siskin IIIA.[22]
Siskin IIIDC – two-seat dual control version (Total 53 built, 47 for RAF, two for RCAF, two for AST, two for Estonia[21]) a further 32 were converted from Siskin IIIs.
Siskin IV – civil racing version (one built[21])
Siskin V – single-seat fighter for Romania. 65 ordered and at least 10 completed before order cancelled. Two used for racing.[23]

In an effort to maintain accurate GIS data that supports Next Generation 9-1-1 best practices, new tools are always in development to make a 9-1-1 caller's location information as accurate as possible. We in the 9-1-1 industry are starting to see new opportunities in wireless location accuracy with RapidSOS, and now new technology like the North Central Texas Emergency Communications District 9-1-1's UAS Program is changing the way 9-1-1 collects and uploads location data.
The ALI information provided by the carriers gives the exact address of a landline to dispatchers, and this addressing information is collected early on in the addressing process when new neighborhoods and regions are in development. Unfortunately, the current process for collecting GIS information for new subdivision means it can take weeks before the data is available to PSAPs, especially in rural areas. The GIS team of the NCT9-1-1 Program is leading the way on utilizing drones to create a faster process for addressing streets within new neighborhoods, and their recent pilot flight demonstrated that this technology can cut down the addressing process dramatically.
The images below demonstrate how an aerial view provided by drones can aid in mapping new subdivisions so that the information can later be uploaded for 9-1-1 call takers.
The traditional addressing method involves either utilizing hand-drawn plats from the county appraisal office, or driving new roads with GPS devices and then digitizing the information to be uploaded for PSAP use. The entire process can take anywhere from two to four weeks, which means residents could already be living in subdivisions that have yet to be addressed. The use of drones to capture the data of new subdivisions cuts this time down to only a few hours, accelerating the planning process significantly and letting PSAPs get access to that data in a much shorter timeframe.
Georeferencing with drones is just the first step for this new technology in the public safety industry. The potential this technology has to improve location accuracy starts with collecting addressing information, but has the potential to assist with subaddressing multistory buildings, and can be used to predict flood forecasting and for search and rescue.

In addition, an Organization that can show strong impact will be scored more favorably under the judging criteria.
Does the Organization need to address specific issues?
Yes, the nominated Organization's programming must benefit women and/or children in the U.S., Puerto Rico, or Canada, in the areas of health, education, leadership development, and/or esteem.
Is my Organization still eligible if some of the beneficiaries of my Organization's programming could be considered middle class or upper-middle class?
Yes, but the majority of participants or beneficiaries must be from lower-to-middle class populations.
How do you define "lower-to-middle" class?
The application will be judged on its ability to demonstrate the lower-to-middle class status of its target.
Will the nominee be considered if they are only working on the Organization part-time?
Yes, we understand that nominees may be working at a job while they are starting an Organization that is not fully funded.
Can a nominee be considered if (s)he is not a founder of the Organization and its principal decision maker in management and development matters (or part of a collective decision-making group with his/her co-founders, if applicable)?
No, all nominees must be at least a co-founder and the primary decision-maker for the Organization's management and development (either individually or collectively in conjunction with any co-founders of the Organization, where applicable).

Bengaluru, Sep 4 2017 : Accusing the Congress government of trying to curb "Mangaluru chalo", a bike rally organised by its BJP Yuva Morcha in protest against the killings of Hindu activists in the coastal districts, state party leaders today met Home Minister, insisting it should be allowed.
The BJP leaders alleged that the government was creating a situation of an "undeclared bundh", with an intention to stop the rally and asked the government not to stop the rally, being held democratically.
"We have no objections to do a rally...we have asked police to ensure that there is no disturbance to law and orderand public," Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said.
As rally will commence from different parts of the state tomorrow and with no permission yet from the police, a delegation led by Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Jagadish Shettar, Council Opposition Leader K S Eshwarappa, Former Deputy Chief Minister R Ashoka and others today met newly appointed Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy.
While seeking cooperation for the success of the rally from the government, the leaders expressed their intention to go ahead with it "at any cost."
"As a responsible national party when we are organising a protest democratically within the framework of law, it is our duty to inform the government...it is the duty of the government to provide protection to our party workers," Shettar said after the meeting.
Pointing out that while in government, BJP had ensured protection to Congress organised padyatra against the government, he said, "we have asked the the Home Minister to ensure the same."
Assuring of cooperation in ensuring peace from BJP's side, Shettar said "in case you are unable to provide protection, or police indulges in high handedness to stop the rally by arresting our workers it will bring a bad name for the government, and it will be responsible for the consequences.", he said.
"We all leaders will also be participating in the rally, and no one can stop it, so we have requested government to cooperate," he said.
The bike rally has been organised by Yuva Morcha against the alleged murder of 18 Hindu activists and repeated incidents of violence against them.
The rally is expected to commence from Bengaluru and Hubballi tomorrow and from Shivamogaa and Mysuru on September seven.
Senior party leaders including state unit chief B S Yeddyurappa will take part in the rally at Mangaluru on September seven.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Reddy said the area SP and DCP have asked for clarifications on how many people will participate and other details on the basis of which they will decide.
Highlighting the traffic issues as it is a bikerally, he said he has suggested BJP to hold an event inManagaluru itself, and added that the government did not want any untoward incident happening.
BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje said it was not her party, but the ruling Congress which was trying to disturb peace in Mangaluru by making efforts to prevent the rally.
"Not at all, we are not trying to disturb peace by holding bike rally, but it is the Congress, for we are going to hold our dharna peacefully," she told reporters after a BJP meeting attended by State Party incharge and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar here.
Karandlaje said BJP is not against Muslims and any other religion, but against "anti-Hindu" policies of the Siddaramaiah government, which is fomenting communal tension in Mangaluru region.
She said the Siddaramaiah government is making efforts to stop 'Mangaluru Chalo' rally because it is afraid of its anti-Hindu policy consequences.
"By holding the rally, we are going to expose the anti-Hindu policy of Siddaramaiah government, and that is why Congress is stopping us from doing it.

Pacific Alliance looks to Asia as NAFTA, TPP face uncertainty
CNBC | 22 May 2017
By Sri Jegarajah
Pacific Alliance countries are in talks to expand the trade bloc outside Latin America and into high-growth Asia as the future of established deals, such as NAFTA and the evolving Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), hang in the balance, officials from Mexico and Chile told CNBC at the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam.
Talks aimed at widening the six-year old "Alianza del Pacifico" (Pacific Alliance), the world's eighth-largest economic block and exporter, are at an exploratory stage, but have taken on an more urgency since U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from the TPP, leaving the remaining members scrambling to rescue the deal or forge new partnerships.
Mexico's economy minister said though member states were committed to resuscitating the TPP, with or without the U.S., they didn't want to squander years of effort building trade relations with Asia.
"It is in the best interest of Mexico to be linked to the Asian economies," said Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo. "We are now creating a new membership…in order to not waste the negotiating capital we have invested in TPP."
Deborah Elms, executive director of the Asian Trade Centre, said though Pacific Alliance members are trying to widen the appeal of the bloc, it was "big on rhetoric, short on deliverables."
Attempts to engage a larger membership may be motivated by obstacles preventing cross-border trade within their own region, Elms said.
"For countries like Chile, they live in a difficult neighborhood," she explained. Mercosur, the far older South American economic and political bloc, "has been stuck and protectionist forever. This has left Chile unable to craft a sensible trade strategy in the region. They have instead struck out on their own and signed agreements with anyone else who is willing and started down the Pacific Alliance path to help them cope with their problem."
Chile's head of international trade, Paulina Nazal Aranda, said the Pacific Alliance may name new countries that may join the bloc at its summit next month in Cali, Colombia.
"It's well known that New Zealand and Australia are in the top list for us to initiate this kind of process," Nazal said. Both counties are "perfect candidates," she said, as "they have high quality standards" and negotiations can be completed "in the short term."
Though concrete benefits may be hard to discern immediately, Australia's Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Steven Ciobo, told CNBC that his country had held "good discussions" with the Pacific Alliance over the past 12 months.
This was part of a broader plan to pursue "bilaterals, plurilaterals and multilaterals," Ciobo said. "All I can say to you is watch this space."
New Zealand is also looking eastward toward South America.
"I've formally written to the Pacific Alliance members requesting that New Zealand become an associate member," New Zealand Trade Minister Todd McClay said in an interview with CNBC on Sunday. "We see South America, along with Mercosur, with Europe, with Asia, our relations with the U.S. as very important to New Zealand trade policy."

Patti LaBelle Broke Off an Engagement With a Temptation: 'I'm Glad I Didn't Marry You, Boo Boo'
Kourtnee Jackson
Patti LaBelle is deservedly receiving her flowers this year in the form of adulation and celebration. She's had a Verzuz match with Gladys Knight, did a guest spot for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and raked in the dough each Thanksgiving shopping minute due to her sweet potato pie at Walmart.
While fans have been treated to seeing her in the spotlight, there are some things they may not know about the legendary soul singer. LaBelle once revealed an interesting tidbit about her romantic life.

Patti LaBelle was engaged to a Temptation
Though LaBelle was never on Motown with either of her girl groups or as a solo artist, she ran in the same circles as those on the pioneering record label. The Temptations were soaring when she began dating one of its founding members, Otis Williams.
During her appearance on Oprah's Master Class in 2015, LaBelle stated she met them when they visited her hometown of Philadelphia for a performance. She and Williams became attracted to another. They dated and he eventually proposed. But during their engagement, LaBelle had second thoughts.
"I think I was more in love with The Temptations than Otis Williams — who was a very sweet man," she explained. LaBelle recalled feeling "celebrity crazy" and thinks it clouded her judgement. The moment of truth came when she and Williams started talking about their future and he expressed he wanted her to move to Detroit and quit singing.
That was a wake-up call for LaBelle. She called off the engagement in an nice way and noted that she has to sing for the rest of her life, regardless of whether she gets paid to do it. There was no way she would stop doing what she loved.
"I still really care for him very much. He's a sweet man, but I'm glad I didn't marry you, boo boo. Now, that was a good move on my part," LaBelle mused.

Patti LaBelle married before going solo
Some fans may know that LaBelle married Armstead Edwards in 1969. She shared that he was her manager when she was in Labelle and he proposed to her three times. She turned him down each time, but on the fourth, she popped the question to him.
LaBelle and Edwards stayed together for more than 30 years before separating in 2000. They divorced in 2003 and remain close friends. She said they parted ways on good terms.
"I never hated him. He never hated me, We just couldn't live together—not because of physical fights or anything," she shared. "We never fought, thank God, in 32 years. We got along even when we didn't get along! But then we realized that we had to leave each other," said LaBelle.
Is LaBelle dating anyone?
In a 2019 interview with the New York Post, LaBelle talked about her love life. She said that men approach her all time, but she still hadn't found the right match. Further, she wants something serious.
"I still have time to find a husband," she told the outlet. "I don't want a boyfriend. I want a husband." The last man LaBelle was linked to was her former drummer, Eric Seats.

Season 1: Middle schoolEdit
The first season begins with Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and his best friend Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong), two average sixth-graders. They do not care about schoolwork, despite the efforts of their longtime teacher George Feeny (William Daniels). Initially, their main interest is sports, though later Shawn and then Cory begin to express an interest in girls. This season focuses specifically on Cory's relationships with the other characters in the show. He begins to understand his parents more and respect them for all that they do. His relationship with his elder brother Eric (Will Friedle) becomes confusing as Eric's constant obsession with girls is foreign to Cory, and he becomes more protective of his younger sister Morgan (Lily Nicksay from this season through the end of the second season). Cory begins to show interest in Topanga (Danielle Fishel), a smart outsider in his class, though he often hides this by insulting and berating her. Cory and Topanga have known each other since they were kids, making romance in their relationship even more predictable. Cory and Shawn's friendship is tested for the first time, and Cory must often choose between doing what Shawn wants him to do and doing what is best for their friendship.
Seasons 2–5: High schoolEdit
During the second season, Cory, Topanga, and Shawn start high school and meet Jonathan Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn), an unconventional English teacher. Although they initially view Mr. Turner as cool, they soon realize that he is a teacher above all else, which earns him the nickname "Feeny with an earring" from Cory. Throughout the second season, Cory and Shawn try a variety of ways to become popular with their classmates. In doing so, they nearly get into fights with school bullies and in trouble with Mr. Feeny (now their high school principal). Eventually, though Shawn becomes more popular, he maintains his close friendship with the less popular Cory. Shawn's mother Virna deserts her son and husband Chet (Blake Clark), which upsets Shawn greatly. Chet then leaves to find Virna. After this occurs, Shawn lives briefly with Cory and his parents, but soon figures out that it's just not the right fit for him, and later moves in with Mr. Turner. Cory tries at some points to begin a relationship with Topanga, but this is mostly because he does not want to be left out of the dating game. Sensing this, Topanga is wary of his advances, and despite the mutual attraction, the two do not date during this season.
During the third season, Cory finally admits that he wants to ask out Topanga but cannot work up the courage to do it. Consequently, his best friend Shawn asks her out. Although Cory was hurt, he soon realized Shawn set the whole thing up so he could unite Cory and Topanga and make Cory confess his feelings for her. He tells her how he feels, and they become a couple. Later in the third season, Cory and Topanga are worried that their relationship has hit a rut, and decide it would be best to break up while they are still able to keep the friendship. They get back together a few months later when Cory follows her to Disney World to win her back. Eric spends this season desperately trying to make up for his first three years of slacking off in high school. He makes progress, but it is not enough; he is not accepted to any colleges or universities as of his high school graduation. He decides then to take a year off and figure things out, beginning with a summer road trip. After finding out in the season finale that Cory feels estranged from him, Eric invites Cory along for the ride. Shawn nearly makes several life-changing blunders this season, but Cory and then Mr. Turner help him to make the right choices. Cory endures several tests of character this season—everything from being credited for a great deed (which he did not deserve), to being insistently pursued by another girl while he is with Topanga. Sometimes Cory makes the right decision, and sometimes the wrong one, but he learns from each.
The fourth season opens with Cory and Eric's return from their road trip. In this season, Eric finds himself confronted with life after high school. After having a couple of jobs and meeting people that teach him some interesting lessons, Eric decides to retake the SAT and give college another try. The Matthews' patriarch Alan (William Russ) decides to quit his job and open a sporting goods store with Eric as his partner. Topanga's mother is transferred at her job to Pittsburgh, which is over 300 miles (480 km) from Philadelphia. The news devastates Cory, but Topanga runs away from her new house and returns to Philadelphia. Topanga's parents decide that she can live with Aunt Prudence (Olivia Hussey) in Philadelphia until she graduates. Shawn's mother returns for a brief period but then leaves again under unknown circumstances at some point between season 4 and season 6.
Later that school year, Mr. Turner gets into a severe motorcycle accident in which he almost dies. The next year Eric moves out of his parents' house and begins college at the fictional Pennbrook University (a pastiche of local Philadelphia schools including Saint Joseph's University and the University of Pennsylvania). He moves into an apartment with Jack (Matthew Lawrence), who turns out to be Shawn's half-brother. Shawn clearly shows his hatred toward Jack and refuses to live with him because he was upset that Jack never called or checked to see if Shawn and his dad were doing okay (Shawn eventually discovers that Jack never received any of Shawn's letters, or he would have come to see him immediately). However, after being convinced by his father and others around him, Shawn moves in with them but finds he has nothing in common with Jack, which causes a lot of tension. A new student, Angela (Trina McGee), moves to Philadelphia and begins to date Shawn. Over winter break, the students go skiing on a school trip. Cory sprains his ankle and Lauren (Linda Cardellini), a ski-lodge employee, takes care of him. The two kiss, but Cory lies to Topanga. When Topanga finds out that he lied, they break up. Cory, upset about the break-up, gets drunk and is arrested, along with Shawn. The two agree never to drink again, but Shawn breaks the promise and shows up at school drunk. With the help of Angela and Jack, Shawn realizes that alcoholism runs in his family and that he needs to stop drinking.
Topanga forgives Cory after encountering her own kiss with an old friend from grade school. She realizes no kiss means more than the ones she shares with Cory. Cory and Topanga reunite and attend the prom together, where they are named King and Queen. On prom night, Cory's mother Amy (Betsy Randle) announces that she is pregnant. Mr. Feeny decides to retire at the end of the school year and move to Wyoming; however, he soon returns from retirement and goes back to teaching. Topanga is accepted to Yale, but Cory does not want her to leave him. At graduation, Topanga tells Cory that she decided not to go to Yale because she wants to be with him; then she proposes. The couple's parents are upset that they got engaged so young, but Cory and Topanga decide to elope. However, at the last minute, they decide that they want to get married "the right way," in front of family and friends.
Seasons 6–7: CollegeEdit
Shawn, Cory, Topanga, and Angela join Jack and Eric at Pennbrook. Rachel McGuire (Maitland Ward), a new student from Texas, moves in with Eric and Jack, causing tension as both boys have crushes on her. Angela and Shawn break up due to his claim that they should meet new people and, despite Cory's efforts, decide to stay just friends. They eventually are brought back together by way of Angela's father during his visit to the college, recruiting students for his R.O.T.C. program of basic training in the army. Mr. Feeny returns to take some classes but then is offered a teaching job at the university. During their freshman year, Stuart (played by Ben Savage's older brother Fred Savage), one of their professors, makes inappropriate—and unwelcome—sexual advances towards Topanga, causing Cory to shove him through a glass door at the Student Union. Cory is suspended but for only one day; the Dean (Bonnie Bartlett) believes that Stuart had crossed the line. Mr. Feeny and the Dean eventually gain feelings for one another and begin dating.
Cory and Topanga face a major obstacle in their marriage plans when Topanga's parents go through a divorce, and she decides to call off the wedding. She breaks up with Cory completely and tells him that she doesn't believe in love. Topanga is convinced that she is doing what is best for herself and Cory until her mother comes to explain everything and tell her that love is worth the risk.
Chet dies of a heart attack, and Jack reacts by admitting feelings for Rachel. They start dating, which causes problems for Jack and Eric. Crushed, Eric decides to move out of the apartment so that he doesn't get in the way of Jack and Rachel and later sleeps in Mr. Feeny's car. Shawn goes on a road trip to deal with his father's death, saying he won't come back. He does return however when the new Matthews baby, Joshua, is born prematurely and has a small chance of survival. Shawn receives a letter from his mother, confessing she is not his biological parent. Shawn unsuccessfully searches for his biological mother. Alan offers to adopt Shawn, but he decides that it was not necessary because Shawn knows that he is already part of the family.
Shawn and Cory have challenges in their relationship throughout the season, including on the day of Cory's wedding. Shawn admits that he is no longer Cory's best friend and gives him away to Topanga. Despite this, their friendship remains intact, but Topanga sometimes feels left out. Cory and Topanga get married and move into a shabby apartment for married couples on campus. They struggle for a while, wondering why Alan and Amy refuse to help them, but Alan later admits that he didn't want to deprive of them of the joy and bonding that comes with building a life together when you're new to marriage. They eventually make it a wonderful home and realize that they are capable of doing things on their own as a married couple. The group is growing up—they have to start thinking about what to do with their lives. In one episode, the newer friends get involved in a prank war with the originals (Jack, Rachel, and Angela vs. Cory, Shawn, and Topanga) which ultimately results in an ill-considered prank that exposes a very private secret of Rachel's. The friends are almost completely torn apart by all of this, until Eric and Mr. Feeny intervene by reminding them of the importance of their relationships and, as a result, everyone makes up.
In the series finale, Cory, Topanga, Shawn, and Eric all head to New York City, where Topanga has been offered a dream internship at a law firm. Angela decides to move overseas with her father, and Jack and Rachel join the Peace Corps in Guatemala. The final scene has Cory, Topanga, and Shawn having a final meeting with Mr. Feeny in their old sixth-grade classroom, along with Eric, with each one telling him how important he is in their lives and to cherish each other forever.

Production notesEdit
Theme music and introductionsEdit
Boy Meets World used a number of theme songs and opening title sequences over its seven-year run. Season one was the only season of the series that incorporated the names of the main cast and series creators within the opening title sequence, while those credits were shown along with the credits for producers and that episode's director and writers during the show's cold open for the remainder of the series. Every episode of seasons one and four through seven utilized a single theme song for every episode; however, the entire second season and part of season three used various instrumental themes composed by Ray Colcord (who also composed the incidental music used between scenes and commercial breaks throughout the show's run). This practice ended with "The Last Temptation of Cory" (season 3, episode 9) as one of the cycled themes became the sole opening title music for the rest of that season. The final theme, written and performed by Phil Rosenthal, of the band Twenty Cent Crush[8] remained for seasons five through seven, though the visuals changed from seasons 5 to 6 to include Trina McGee-Davis (when she moved from recurring cast member in season 5 to series regular cast member in season 6) and Maitland Ward (who was added as a regular cast member in season 6).
ABC Family was the first network since ABC to show all the accurate introductions for each of the show's seven seasons. For the broadcast syndication and Disney Channel airings between 1997 and 2007, the opening title sequence from season four (along with a slightly modified version of the theme music from that season) anachronistically replaced the title sequences for the first three seasons, while the opening titles for seasons four through seven were kept intact.
Philadelphia referencesEdit

It is one of many television shows to take place primarily in the Philadelphia area and makes multiple local references. These include Cory's love for the Phillies and Morgan often wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jacket. Eric mentions that he and his father always talk about the Eagles, 76ers, Flyers, and Phillies, the four major sports teams in Philadelphia, and his attempts to be accepted into Swarthmore College—finally ending with Cory and most of the cast attending Pennbrook, an institution that appears to be a pastiche of Penn and Saint Joseph's University. In the episode "Starry Night," Cory and Topanga visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art for a Vincent van Gogh exhibition. In the episode "Singled Out" in season 4, Eric meets with one of the producers of Singled Out and the producer makes reference to Eric living in and around Philadelphia.
The name of John Adams High School is an homage to William Daniels' long-running role in the Tony-award-winning Broadway play (and later film) 1776, in which Daniels played Founding Father John Adams.
SyndicationEdit
Disney–ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution (sister company to Touchstone Television, now ABC Studios) currently handles the syndication rights to the series.
Boy Meets World reruns began airing on various FOX, WB, UPN, and independent affiliates from 1997 to 2000. During the latter month, Disney Channel assumed syndication rights, with the series running on the cable channel until 2007. To the consternation of some longtime fans of the show, Disney Channel edited many episodes that contained scenes with suggestive content deemed inappropriate for the channel's target audience of 7- to 14-year-olds. All 158 episodes aired during the series' initial run on the Disney Channel, however, due to the adult subject matter and complaints from parents, Disney Channel omitted three episodes from later airings: season five's "If You Can't Be with the One You Love..." (due to its depictions of underage drinking) and "Prom-ises, Prom-ises" (whose main storyline involves Cory and Topanga contemplating losing their virginity on the night of their prom), and season six's "The Truth About Honesty" (due to its sexual references).[9] On May 5, 2014, the show temporarily returned to the network after a seven-year absence to promote Girl Meets World.[10]
ABC Family has aired Boy Meets World from June 21, 2004 to August 31, 2007 and again from April 12, 2010 to December 2, 2015.[11] Though the network in a way inherited the syndication rights to the show from Disney Channel, the episode prints broadcast by ABC Family differed from those seen on Disney Channel and in broadcast syndication as it incorporated scenes cut from the Disney Channel broadcasts (though small portions of certain scenes from episodes during the earlier seasons were cut due to time constraints) and featured the three episodes that Disney chose not to air, incorporated each season's corresponding opening title sequence, and restored the placement of the teaser scenes during the season one episodes to running before the opening titles in the manner that they were shown in the original ABC telecasts (instead of having the cast and creators' names shown during the teasers). However, the program was dropped once ABC Family was rebranded as Freeform. The series also began airing on MTV2 since November 14, 2011, again with the original opening title sequences intact.[12]
On April 18, 2016, Nickelodeon's sister channel TeenNick began airing the series. The series, TeenNick's only acquired program as of 2017, airs as a lead-in to the channel's classic programming block, NickSplat.
Internationally, reruns of the series have been broadcast on Canada's YTV, Family Channel, and ABC Spark; the Canadian version of ABC Family. In Brazil, the show was aired by SBT (terrestrial television) and Disney Channel Brazil (cable television) until 2005.
On September 29, 2017, Boy Meets World became available for streaming on Hulu along with fellow Disney–ABC television properties Dinosaurs and Home Improvement, in addition to fellow TGIF programs Family Matters, Full House, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Perfect Strangers, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Step by Step.[13] On April 11, 2019, It was confirmed that Disney+, a new streaming service owned by Disney, will be carrying the series upon its November 2019 launch.[14]
Cultural impactEdit
Angela's interracial relationship with Shawn was a relative rarity for a major network television show targeting youths at the time. Trina McGee-Davis once remarked that the typical reaction she received from young fans regarding the relationship was overwhelmingly positive and encouraging, often inquiring as to when the characters would reconcile after a breakup. She expressed her personal wish that her character's relationship would serve as an example of color blindness for the world, in lieu of a less positive reaction a similar relationship had received on Ally McBeal at the time.[15]
Eric and Shawn both wore a popular 1990s hairstyle called curtained hair.
The show also addresses the cultural issues of child abuse ("Dangerous Secret"'), sexual harassment ("Chick Like Me"), and underage drinking/alcohol abuse ("If You Can't Be With the One You Love…").
Home mediaEdit
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (as Buena Vista Home Entertainment) released the first three seasons of Boy Meets World on DVD between 2004 and 2005.[16] Because the sales figures did not meet the company's expectations, no further seasons were released. As of 2009, these releases have been discontinued and are out of print.
On August 4, 2008, it was announced that Lionsgate Home Entertainment had acquired the rights to the series. They subsequently re-released the first three seasons on DVD on September 7, 2010, with the same special features from the original releases.[17] Season 4 was released on December 7, 2010.[18] Season 5 was released on May 3, 2011.[19] Season 6 was released on July 5, 2011.[20] Season 7 was released on October 4, 2011, completing the series' run on DVD.[21] Ultimately, Lionsgate was able to release all seven seasons in almost a year's time. All seven seasons of the series are available for download at the iTunes Store.
On November 5, 2013, Lionsgate released Boy Meets World: The Complete Collection on DVD in Region 1.[22] The 22-disc set features all 158 episodes of the series as well as new and previously included bonus features from the original sets.

Murtha Changes Political Landscape of Iraq Debate
By Daniel Schorr
Published November 21, 2005 at 12:00 AM EST
DANIEL SCHORR:
President Bush returns from Asia to a landscape radically altered by the issue of an early withdrawal of American troops from Iraq.
NPR senior news analyst Daniel Schorr.
SCHORR: The raucous debate in the House on Friday night precipitated by the troop-pullout proposal of the much-decorated Democratic Congressman John Murtha availed his opponents little. As Congress scattered for the Thanksgiving recess, the suddenly famous Murtha dominated the weekend television talk shows. By yesterday the Bush administration was looking for a cease-fire. The president was praising Murtha's valor and the careful and thoughtful way that he'd arrived at his proposal. Today Vice President Dick Cheney, in his speech, said that calling for an early withdrawal from Iraq was `a dangerous illusion,' but his rhetoric was relatively tempered.
Much can change in a year, but as of now it looks as though getting out of Iraq will dominate the next election. Mr. Bush has no personal stake in that election, but a lot of Republican legislators do, and among them there are signs of disaffection from the president. Senator John Warner, normally an administration stalwart, had a watered-down troop-pullout proposal that is giving the administration heartburn. It would require quarterly reports to Congress on progress in closing of the Iraq chapter of America's history. Warner has also joined Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham in what they call `a little triumvirate,' supporting a measure that would outlaw inhuman treatment of prisoners. Meanwhile, Congress' agenda is tied up in knots, including major bills, like extension of the Patriot Act and a bill calling for deep budget cuts.
Congress analyst Stuart Rothenberg says that Iraq is now `a cloud over everything. It's the 800-pound gorilla in the room,' a mixed metaphor, but you get the idea. This is Daniel Schorr. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Devils Game Recaps
New Jersey Devils Lose 2-1 to Philadelphia Flyers - A Familiar Result with a Better Effort
By John Fischer Jan 8, 2011, 6:21pm EST
Share All sharing options for: New Jersey Devils Lose 2-1 to Philadelphia Flyers - A Familiar Result with a Better Effort
On Thursday night, the New Jersey Devils hosted the Philadelphia Flyers and lost 4-2. While the game was a tight, defensive affair with not a lot of shots fired by both teams, Philadelphia preyed on New Jersey's mistakes for each goal against. It was pretty bad to watch and yet another disappointing and frustrating loss in a season full of them.
With that, along with the memory of several losses like that this season in mind, the New Jersey Devils put out a better effort this afternoon against the Flyers. The Devils actually attacked the opposition; they made sure that Daniel Briere, Ville Leino, and Scott Hartnell wouldn't ruin their day again; and their power play even got some shots on net for a change. It wasn't enough, though. The Devils still lost to the Flyers 2-1.
I'm not going to tell you that the Devils played a great game and were just unlucky to lose. That would be false. The major points The Devils took 12 minutes in penalties; mostly stupid things like Henrik Tallinder high-sticking Jody Shelley early in the game, Anssi Salmela hooking a guy in a way that's been consistently called since the lockout; and even a too many men on the ice call. The Devils also didn't come out strong today, as the Flyers controlled the play in the first period until they were up by two goals. Even at the first half of the third period had the Flyers rush up more before the Devils turned up the intensity; definitely not what you want to see when down by a goal.
Amid all of this, your goals against were one shot that slid through Johan Hedberg's 5-hole, an open shot down low on a power play where Hedberg was at the post but on his knees (guess where it went in), and a Devils shot that deflected off a Flyer skate to give it a perfect arc into the net. None of these were defensive breakdowns or someone not covering a man, which is a surprise and a feat in of itself. Just two softies by Moose and a fluke that beat Brian Boucher.
My basic take on this game is simple: the Devils played a competitive game against the Flyers, and the Flyers did well to hold on to their lead. It's nothing to celebrate, especially a loss to a rival; but the way the Devils played was a far sight better than the last game between these two teams and many of the other losses they suffered this season. To ignore that or to claim the Devils only showed up at the end is false.
Please check out Broad Street Hockey for a Flyers-based take on today's game. I have further thoughts after the jump.
Here's the game summary. Take a look at the shots on net. The Devils actually out-shot the Flyers in every period. Granted, the Flyers getting two goals early helps in that regard (and in Corsi); but it's evidence that the Devils didn't flop in this game. Given that the second period has been a particular problem this season, that the Devils out-shot the Flyers 12-8 and got a (fluke) goal is pretty good.
Don't misunderstand me, just because there wasn't one or more bad period by NJ, there were shifts and stretches where the Flyers just put the Devils to the sword. The Flyers were wise to keep on attacking even with a lead, keeping the Devils honest in their own end. There was the occasional rush up ice, and others were more traditional with a dump-in and a few passes to set it up. The 19 shots since the second goal against are evidence that the team didn't sit back and relax on the lead couch.
The game summary is not only instructive of the penalties called against New Jersey, but also of the goaltenders. Hedberg faced 10 shots and was yanked. The first goal allowed went through his five hole on a weak shot on an angle. Not a good goal to allow. The second was a power play goal against; as Danny Briere had an open shot on Hedberg's right side. hedberg got to the post, but he stayed on his knees, giving Briere the whole top of the net. Briere didn't hit it quite right, so it just elevated into Hedberg's arm and in. Still not a good goal to allow. As noted before the jump, these were not the result of defensive breakdowns. They were just soft goals against. Jacques Lemaire put in Martin Brodeur, who had a very good game in relief - stopping all 19 shots by Philadelphia and being victimized by James van Reimsdyk's shoulder (which thankfully drew a goaltender interference call).
James van Reimsdyk had an otherwise fine day. He really stood out on the rush, where he would get a lane with the puck, and drive in towards the net regardless of whether a Devil defenseman was on him or not. Two of these stick out. The first had Colin White try to keep him to the outside, did his best to do so, but van Reimsdyk's weak shot the spot between Hedberg's legs for the first goal of the game. The second had him nearly past Henrik Tallinder, but the defender wisely fouled him - the one penalty by the Devils I can understand in retrospect in this game.
The event summary has van Reimsdyk with 3 shots on goal, 2 misses, and 18:28 of total ice time. A very good statline. Other Flyers who stood out both on the event summary sheet and in the game was Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. The Flyers captain had 5 shots on net along with 2 blocked; and Carter put up 6 with a blocked shot and 2 misses. If those two were driving the play forward, then they were definitely making the most of it when it happened. The event summary showing Briere as the only one between him, Leino, and Hartnell with any shots on goal (3) justifies that line being shut down after a great Thursday night.
Believe it or not, per the 5-on-5 ice time charts at Time on Ice, van Reimsdyk, Richards, and Carter weren't all on the same line. Richards and van Reimsdyk were usually joined by Andreas Nodl; while Carter mostly rolled with Claude Giroux (who was largely invisible today) and Darroll Powe (ditto). I leave it to you to decide whether that makes either of those performances more impressive. All the same, those three forwards stood out on the Flyers tonight.
Moving onto the team that's supported here, there's quite a bit to point out. Ilya Kovalchuk with 5 shots on net is more of what we'd like to see from him. Kovalchuk also drew a slashing call out of Richards in the first period when Kovalchuk took him on with the puck - and won. It wasn't just the Kovalchuk show, as Vladimir Zharkov had a very good game of his own. He put up 5 shots on net, his speed gave the Flyers' defense some problems, and he was ever so close to scoring his first NHL goal in the third period only to be unable to lift the puck over Brian Boucher's stretched out left pad. I feel bad for the winger for not scoring, but he definitely was a positive for the Devils' game today - enough that Lemaire gave him more than 10 minutes of ice time.
Other notable Devils performances include Patrik Elias putting up 4 shots on goal along with 2 blocked and 2 missed, despite looking way more talented that his linemates of Dainius Zubrus (an OK game from him) and Brian Rolston (surprisingly not a complete waste). Tim Sestito and David Clarkson each put up 3 shots while still on the fourth line, which is a good contribution on a line that gets limited minutes. Jason Arnott had 3 shots on his own and one really impressive back-check to break up a 2-on-1 in the third period. OK, the latter's not in the event summary; but it's definitely worth noting that he hustled back, forced the puck carrier behind the net, and ended the Flyers' attack with a clear after some additional help by Zharkov on the backcheck.
Lastly, some team stats on the event summary. Faceoffs were definitely in Philly's favor today, as the Devils won 42% of theirs. It's nothing to panic, but a downside to the Devils' game today. More positively, the Devils out-shot the Flyers by 10, 31-21, at 5-on-5 play. Sure, score effects make this unsurprising; but it suggests the Devils aren't just showing up for the final 5 minutes or just here and there. I don't think one team out-shoot another by 10 shots at 5-on-5 without some decent play over a long period of time. Especially today since the Flyers weren't sitting on the lead. Yes, I'll say it - the Devils were decent at 5-on-5. That is a good thing.
A quick look at the Corsi chart at Time on Ice shows backs up the Devils' eventual control at 5-on-5. The Flyers are mostly negative with huge exceptions of Kimmo Timonen (+10) and Braydon Coburn (+12). Perhaps they deserve more respect. After all, each played over 20 minutes of ice time today, each attempted several shots (Coburn: 1 SOG, 4 blocked, 1 missed; Timonen: 4 SOG, 1 blocked, 2 missed), and played well with each other at 5-on-5.
You look at the Devils and they're mostly positive (even Rolston is a +7), with two notable exceptions of their own: Travis Zajac (-7) and Nick Palmieri (-6). Not that either was miserable today, but when they stepped on the ice, the puck tended to be getting shot in New Jersey's end of the rink. Plus, the Flyers appeared to have matched Timonen-Coburn with Kovalchuk (+1) and Zajac. No wonder Lemaire double-shifted Kovalchuk and moved the lines around as time went on. The Flyers had a good defensive pairing against that line and things didn't go well for Zajac and Palmieri in general today.
Everyone else on NJ did OK and the Corsi chart justifies one more thing: the team did better with Martin Brodeur in net. Hedberg was pulled after the Briere goal. Perhaps it was done because it was a second soft goal early in the game. But if there was a message sent either by the goalie change or the score to get their acts together, the Devils largely got it. I wish they were more consistent with it, especially in the first half of the third period; but at least the team did improve instead of letting the early 2-0 deficit get to them.
A few final general points before the last main one. Anssi Salmela definitely had his ice time cut to just over 7 minutes and deservedly so. His shooting only found Flyers bodies instead of Boucher; he took a silly penalty; he watched a few pucks go by (one that led to an odd man rush snuffed out because the Flyers botched the pass); and he was tentative all over the ice. I don't believe Matthew Corrente is better than him, but I think he deserves a game or two in Salmela's place. Adam Mair did very little today and also got only 7:21 of ice time. I'm not saying Mattias Tedenby would have changed the game, but another speedy winger with good puck handling skills would have been preferable to Mair just being there. I liked Mark Fraser's game today, he did well on both the PK and at even strength. I'm fine with him being on the third pairing if he plays more like this.
Last major point: Brian Boucher had a good game. Feel free to rationalize it by saying he faced perimeter shots or the Devils made him look good (?) or whathaveyou. Overall, he faced 33 shots, he's had screens and deflected pucks go on his person, and he had to go laterally more than just a handful of times. The only shot he didn't stop was an absolute fluke, no shame there. He's had a good season so far, and this game is another example of his good season. Simple as.
The Devils played a competitive game and the evidence suggests that. There's still more to improve, but it's an improvement over what has been seen in the first half of the New Jersey Devils' nightmare season. That shouldn't be ignored.
That takes care of my take on the game. What did you think about today's game? Did you think the Devils were truly competitive? What would you like to see different for tomorrow's game? Please leave your thoughts and feelings on tonight's game in the comments. Thanks to the commenters in today's gamethread; and thank you for reading.

Temperatures started to rise again, but the Foxes were hoping it wouldn't effect them negatively. As the races were about to start, the temperature started dropping and the Foxes were happy. The Foxes took 26 runners to the Harrisburg Invitational to compete against multiple single A teams and also AA teams. The course was the same course that the Foxes ran just a few weeks ago, but we were hoping for faster times. The order of events were 4:30 Boys Varsity, 5:00 Girls Varsity and 5:30 p.m. Open race.
The Boys varsity team has been doing really well over this year and were looking forward to showing the competition that they would be able to pull a win at the invitational. The Boys race had about 90 runners in it. The race starts out going straight up a long hill, then comes down the hill, then back up the hill for the first mile. Theron Smith took off fast and looked to battle for one of the top spots on the day. Theron has came off of two really good performances at Freeburg and Carterville and has been running well in practice. Hot on Theron's heels were Hunter Braden and Matt Rubenacker. Hunter and Matt continued to work on the competition and moved up to finish in the 1st and 2nd spots overall in the A race for schools with a full team. The only person on the A division that finished in front of them was Ty Barbre from Carmi. Slightly behind Hunter and Matt was Theron Smith, Logan Hunt and Kaden Richards, all of which received medals on the day. Logan Hunt keeps improving all the time and might move up into the top spots of the Foxes team again (like last year) towards the end of the season. Kaden Richards has improved non stop throughout the season and has show that he has an immense amount of running talent, we really hope Kaden will run with us and help lead the team over the next few years. The top 20 in each division received medals. Adam Wellen and Clay Ragan finished quickly after. The Foxes took the win and are hoping to take a few more wins in a row over the next week. The Foxes were without Trenton Butler who is nursing an injury in his foot right now.
The Girls varsity was up next and had seven runners that would be competing. Kylee Vaughan was not able to run for the Foxes because she was busy winning a Regional title and helping win the Regional Championship for the girls golf team, Congratulations Kylee. The Foxes were looking to have fixed some small issues they were having and looking forward to competing against some tough teams. Jasmine Coomes took off fast and worked up on the front runners of the race. Jasmine finished up in fourth place and for the first time she was able to beat Francesca from Harrisburg. Raegan Halley who has been feeling rough over the past few races, improved upon it and finished just a few places behind Jasmine Coomes (8th Place). Almost right behind Raegan was the Dynamic Duo of Kaylee Chapman and Olivia Ragan who both went under 23:00 for the race. Abby Reyling was the Foxes fifth runner and finished only a few places behind Carmi's number five runner. Leah Ragan finished just slightly after Abby. Jevin Shreve had a foot that was hurting her and at the 3/4 mile mark we decided to "live to fight another day" and dropped the race to save from further injury. The girls had a good showing placing second behind the tough DuQuoin team.
The Foxes next race will be at Home at Dolan Lake on October the 10th. If you have never been to a cross country race, I would like to invite you out to the lake for a race consisting of 17 teams to cheer on your Foxes runners. The F/S race is at 4:00, Girls Varsity at 4:30 and Varsity Boys at 5:00.
