In the absence of runaway numbers: Frontrunners to Climber LAST WEEK'S TRADITIONAL gut-buster, the Climber Huff'n'Puff Time Trial, finds girls' state-veteran frontrunner Sarah Brownstein claiming the finish line as coaches Daryl White (left) and Peter O'Neil record the result for posterity (top) and then joining teammates Alana Langdon (left) and Gwen Milroy moments later for a postrace cooldown. 'Pro-active' Harriers, coach place in Elma coach due o cross-country Highclimb- ished sixth overall and first in his Climberville will host a nationally recognized coaching authority next week. "Proactive coach" Bruce Brown will address students during the school day Tues- day, September 11, and then that night the public will get a chance to hear him in an ad- dress that's set to begin at 6:30 in the Shelton High School Au- ditorium. Brown, who draws on more than 35 years' experience as a teacher, coach and athletic administrator in all levels of education, will speak on char- acter-building and teaching the values of "leadership, courage, integrity, sportsmanship, hard work and enthusiasm," to quote Climber Athletic Director Bill Hicks' promotional letter to the community. Parents are encouraged to attend the workshop portion of the educator's presentation without their middle- and high- school-age children "in order to get the full effect of Mr. Brown's presentation," adds Hicks. For more information, says era and one of their coaches com- peted in the Outlaw Days fun runs two weekends ago in Elms.

And veteran assistant coach Peter O'Neil, a former British club runner and currently among the United States' top-ranked masters at 800 meters, also ran the 5k.
