’Odyssey’ highlights alternative fuel’s future
by mAdiSOn flECkcoRRESpoNdENT
The National Alternative Fuels Train-ing Consortium showed off alternative fuel vehicles in front of the Mountainlair Friday, creating a hands-on experience for passerby to learn about “AFVs” and how they operate.
QR codes – symbols that, when scanned, link to a web page – were placed on different parts of the Hybrid Toyota Prius. Attached iPads were used to scan these codes and give informa-tion about the various components of the AFV.
“Students love this, because it’s not like there’s a big velvet rope around it saying ‘don’t touch,’” said Mike Smyth, assistant director of training and curric-ulum development for Alternative Fuels at West Virginia University.
There were NAFTC staff members at the exhibit who were able to give infor-mation about the vehicles.
“The Toyota Prius has both an elec-tric drive and a gasoline motor that work together,” Smyth said. “If you’re driving downtown in bumper-to-bumper traffic, you’ll be running on electricity, and the gasoline motor won’t turn on.”
Some AFVs adapt to drivers’ habits to conserve as much energy as possible.

More than 125 pairs of colorful sneak-ers participated in the run of the sea-son Sunday.
WVU’s College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences held its first half-mara-thon Sunday. The event began at the Am-phitheater at Ruby Hazel Mcquain Park in downtown Morgantown.
Men and women of all ages partici-pated. At 9 a.m., the runners were ready to put their feet to the 13.1-mile test.
Race Coordinator Nathan Kile said the race is one of many to be held in the future.
“It’s part of the Morgantown Adven-ture Sports Series. This is one of the first-produced road races,” he said. “We saw a need for a fall race and wanted to take ad-vantage of the nice weather.”
Many runners were looking for a fall race, including overall female winner, Kelsey Markham.
“I was looking for a nice fall race to do, and I live in Morgantown,” she said. “I saw it was for the College of Physical

Chestnut Ridge Park treats guests to a night under the starsby SHElby TOOmpAS
STAff WRITER
Chestnut Ridge Park welcomed students, fac-ulty, alumni and commu-nity members to their first annual stargazing event: “A Tour of the Night Sky,” Saturday.
D.J. Pisano, assistant professor of physics and faculty adviser of the WVU Astronomy club, kicked off the event with his pre-sentation of “A Tour of the Night Sky” around 7 p.m.
“I’ve been interested in the night sky since I was about 6 years old,” Pisano said. “ However, I’ve been at WVU since January of 2009, and I’ve been giv-ing public presentations about the night sky since I’ve been in college.”
Many individuals came early to listen to Pisano and learn more about the night sky.
“I think it’s important to teach people about the night sky, because it gives individuals some sense of
their place in the world,” Pisano said. “When people live in big cities, even here in Morgantown, you tend to lose track of that. How-ever, by coming out here, people get a better appre-ciation of the world around them.”
The presentation was beneficial for more than just star enthusiasts, Pi-sano said.
“We also do science for the benefit of everybody, and science is important to understand many things in
our daily life – not only as-tronomy, but physics and chemistry, as well,” he said.
Pisano said galaxies are his favorite subject to talk about and teach others.
After his presentation, individuals were welcomed to view the night sky with telescopes provided by WVU’s astronomy club.
April Liska, a sophomore physics and mathematics student and member of the Astronomy Club, said she joined the club at the be-ginning of last year because
she had always been inter-ested in astronomy.
“It’s a great event for all ages, but I like having the chance to teach others about astronomy and let-ting kids get an interest for science by seeing the night sky,” Liska said.
“People have always been interested in what’s around them, and this is a great way to let them know what’s around them.”
WVU’s Astronomy Club has purchased each of its telescopes and has also
had the chance to bring them out to Chestnut Ridge Park for Boy and Girl Scouts events.
“Astronomy is interest-ing, and there is always more to learn,” Liska said. “I definitely hope they have this event again in the fu-ture, because we always like to show people our telescopes and show them the night sky.”
Once individuals looked through the telescopes,

break or coast and charges the battery with the cap-tured kinetic energy,” Smyth said.
Many of the NAFTC staff own an AFV. Al Ebron, the executive director of NAFTC at WVU, is the proud owner of a Chevrolet Volt.
“I bought this vehicle in April, and I haven’t bought a cent of gas (in Morgan-town) since I purchased the car. I get 30-35 miles on a charge. That’s enough for me to go to work and back, go to lunch and run some errands,” said Ebron.
Ebron said not only does an AFV save resources, but it also saves money.
“It costs me 50 cents-$1 per day to charge my volt when I was paying $4-$6 per day in the other vehicle I was driving,” he said.
One of the main reasons NAFTC feels these vehicles are so important is because they reduce the United States’ dependency on for-eign oil.
“I think it will be a long, long time before we have to stop using gasoline or diesel, and the earth has a good supply of oil,” Ebron said. “I won’t have to worry about it, you won’t have to worry about it, but the
people coming behind you will.”
He said he believes oil prices will become an ex-tremely important factor in peoples lives.
“I think what people don’t really understand is the big factor that will change the price of gas is the competition,” he said. “China and India add a cou-ple of million cars a year, and because they are cre-ating a middle class in those countries, they are going to need gas to run the cars. The price of gas is going to go even higher, and a lot of people don’t understand that it will happen sooner rather than later.”
Ebron said it is important
that young people, as con-sumers, understand what they are purchasing. The NAFTC does just that.
“What we try to do is ed-ucate people about the al-ternative fuel vehicles and the purpose of them,” said Judy Moore, assistant direc-tor of communications and outreach for NAFTC.
“If we are able to pro-duce more of our own en-ergy here in the U.S., then we have to be involved in that,” she said.
“I think that’s the great-est impact.”

Activity and Sports Sci-ences, and I wanted to sup-port them.”
CPASS had volunteers helping the event run smoothly. They distrib-uted water to the runners, as well as the prizes. In-stead of waiting for every runner to finish, the awards were given to each runner as soon as they crossed the finish line. This avoided a long wait for early finishers.
As soon as a runner crossed the finish line, they would receive a medal shaped like the state of West Virginia. The runner could then view their progress through chips that were distributed.
Many out-of-breath run-ners had to kneel to take their chips off.
Overall first-place male champion Nate King said he did not expect to win.
“I saw someone who went to the 10K Olympic trial, and I expected him to destroy me, but after the first miles, I felt pretty good, and then just went for it,” he said.
Aside from the medals, quicker runners received mugs. The mugs were dis-tributed among all gender and age groups, giving ev-eryone a fair chance.
Jim Cummings won sec-ond place for the male 50-54 year olds and said he was pleased to have participated.
“This is the first year. I try to win as many races as pos-sible, and this one seemed interesting … there’s three out and backs – that’s three places for someone to watch you run,” Cummings said.
Three “outs and backs” means runners run the course back and forth three times. Families gathered near the Monongahela River to take snapshots of the racers.
“Whenever you run, it’s relatively low key. Some runners are training for big-ger goals. This gives you a chance to meet new peo-ple,” Cummings said.
The runners were also given pizza, Gatorade and snacks.

Nathan Tehrani, a junior physics and biology stu-dent and member of the as-tronomy club, said this was the second event for the as-tronomy club, but it was the first stargazing event open to everyone at the park.
“The night sky is a perfect window on the universe, and it’s the only glimpse we have of what the uni-verse is actually like,” Teh-rani said. “I hope the As-tronomy Club and CRP has more of these events for in-
dividuals to come out and learn and enjoy themselves while doing so.”
Tehrani said the Astron-omy Club also plans trips to other observatories, such as the Green Bank Observatory, which houses the world’s largest radio telescope.
The event lasted from 7-10 p.m., and many fam-ilies and students were in attendance.

As conversations of change have ignited across West Virginia University’s campus, a group of stu-dents has taken the ini-tiative to put an end to destructive behavior, pre-serve the city and Protect Morgantown.
Protect Morgantown is student-led initiative that aims to keep the city safe and preserve it for genera-tions to come.
Political science student Summer Ratcliff said she was determined to make a change after being ap-palled by WVU student be-havior following the foot-ball team’s win against Texas.
“The students that did interact with the rioting and the violence – it just bothered me that people thought it was acceptable,” she said. “Especially when I heard on campus on Monday people laughing saying things like, ‘Oh, did you see that guy go up and tear the light post down? That was so funny.’ To me, people really did think it was funny, and people re-ally did think it was a cool thing to do.”
Ratcliff partnered with WVU student and Morgan-town native Brady Tucker and they began a Facebook page for the group. The group aims to send a posi-tive message to the student body and create a catalyst for change.
“I wanted to start the group on Facebook and kind of get a positive mes-sage out there. You know, saying, ‘Hey, this is our
town, too.’ As students, we do live here for how-ever many years that we’re in school, and we should want to protect it, and not want to destroy it.’”
The Protect Morgan-town movement chal-lenges students to venture into known areas prone to fires and riot behavior and take a positive stance.
According to the move-ment’s Facebook page, “If your group stands beside a dumpster for 2-3 hours af-ter a major win, you could prevent one fire from hap-pening. If we were able to get 20-30 groups in these high fire areas, we could help our local police and fire department tremen-dously. If this were to work, we may even be able to save a life of someone whose house is really on fire and actually needs the fire department’s help.”
The group also encour-ages students to speak out when they hear talk of destructive behavior throughout the commu-nity and create positive conversation surrounding the issue.
The majority of students at WVU do not condone or participate in these activi-ties and want them to stop just as badly as the city council and other commu-nity leaders do, according to the movement’s Face-book page.
Ratcliff said the group is now working to find al-ternative party solutions to provide a safe environ-ment for all Mountaineers to celebrate in.
“We’re kind of brain-storming now and try-ing to get people’s input
as to something that can be a place of celebration,” she said. “But it would be a safe environment and not one that is violent and not one that destroys the community.”
Chris Lewallen, for-mer WVU Student Gov-ernment Association pres-ident, chairman of the Learn Not to Burn Advi-sory Committee and pres-ident of RawDawg Pro-motions, has also taken a unique approach to com-bat the issue.
Lewallen said he be-lieves since RawDawg Pro-motions – a company de-voted to promoting local shops, restaurants and bars – is not an authorita-tive entity, its message will be better-received within the WVU community.
“No amount of fines or police force will stop the small percentage of people from doing this,” Lewallen said. “Change will not hap-pen until the student com-munity takes this upon themselves to change the negative behavior that is happening.”
While RawDawg promo-tions does promote the party school atmosphere at WVU, Lewallen said the group promotes responsi-bility alongside partying.
Last week, Lewallen launched a video on the Protect Morgantown Face-book page.
The video showcased events that “WVU should be proud of,” which in-cluded historical Moun-taineer sports successes along with footage and photos of the “No. 1 party school.”
The video then aired
footage of the previous weekend’s fires and riots, as an example of some-thing to not be proud of.
“We promote the party atmosphere and being the No. 1 party school in the nation, but we also pro-mote being responsible and doing the right thing,” he said. “So, obviously, af-ter the Texas game we got together and decided to make a video, and obvi-ously partner with my pro-motion company. That way, we could get out some flyers.”
Ratcliff said she did not believe the video aligned with Protect Morgantown’s ideals, and she said the video was removed from the page.
“I don’t want to speak negatively of the video or of his idea. The message of his video that was posted was just a different direc-tion than what we want to go,” she said.
“We want to promote re-sponsible celebrations and don’t want to promote the excessive partying. Exces-sive partying is what kind of leads to the inappropriate celebration. I think cele-brating responsibly down-town is fine, but I just don’t feel that the video was go-ing in that direction.”
Ratcliff said as Protect Morgantown maintains its commitment to positive change in the Morgantown community, the movement is open to partner with or receive suggestions from the community.

Lucero to bring Memphis style to MorgantownjereMiah Yates
a&e editor
Country-rock band Lu-cero performs tonight at 123 Pleasant Street.
The band has been re-lentlessly touring in sup-port of their latest album “Women & Work.”
According to the band’s website, “Women & Work” is a love letter from Lu-cero to their hometown of Memphis, Tenn.
“Having a band in Mem-phis puts you in a tradi-tion,” said Lucero front-man Ben Nichols. “We started at punk-rock shows, not necessarily playing punk rock, but coming from the outside, – from a bohemian place.”
Lucero joined the likes of Drive-By Truckers and My Morning Jacket by re-cording their new album through ATO records.
“ The b est-kept-s e-cret band is now on the best-kept-secret label,” said lead guitarist Brian Venable.
The band has a mod-ern-country sound mixed with the classic Americana and blues influences that have made Tennessee a breeding ground for mu-sic legends like Sun Re-cords stars Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
While the band is con-sidered a country-rock
band, they seem to not know any limitations on musical genres.
In 2010, Lucero went on tour with punk-rock leg-ends Social Distortion, and they released a vinyl record with the up-and-
coming bluegrass band Trampled By Turtles.
Throughout their 14-year career, Lucero has constantly progressed by adding musicians and other perspectives into their music.
With the recent addi-tion of a pedal steel gui-tar, piano and a horn section, the band has ac-complished a much larger sound.
If touring the coun-try isn’t enough, Nich-
ols also played a lead role in the MTV series “$5 Cover,” directed by Craig Brewer (“Hustle & Flow,” “Footloose”).
This is a band that has many roots and is con-stantly evolving – a great
show for any music lover.The show starts at 9 p.m.
and costs $20. All attendees must be at
least 18 years old to enter.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Britney Spears’ darkest days are about to be revis-ited in a Los Angeles court-room, but not by the resur-gent pop singer.
Instead jurors will be-gin hearing testimony next week on claims by Spears’ former manager that he was vilified and unfairly blamed for the singer’s public meltdown more than four years ago. Spears’ parents are defendants and will likely testify, but the panel won’t hear directly from the Grammy winner.
Former Spears confi-dante Sam Lutfi is seek-ing millions of dollars from Spears and her fam-ily, claiming her mother’s book lied about him drug-ging and isolating the pop superstar. He is also seek-ing a portion of the singer’s profits, claiming he was a key player in her 2007 al-bum “Blackout” and had the right to serve as her manager for years.
Instead, the singer spent much of that time recover-ing under a court-ordered conservatorship, with her father and fiance continu-ing to exert control over her personal life. It is highly unlikely the star will be a witness during the trial, although a judge has said she will consider a request by Lutfi’s attorney to call Spears as a witness mid-trial if necessary.
A probate judge over-seeing Spears’ conserva-torship has ruled that the singer’s caretakers should not allow her to testify “un-der any circumstances.” Lutfi’s attorney has cited the singer’s record tour
and her current role as a judge on Fox’s “The X Fac-tor” as reasons for why the singer should testify, but he may have to settle for the testimony of Spears’ divorced parents, father Jamie Spears and mother Lynne Spears.
Jury selection began Friday and will continue on Tuesday, with opening statements expected later in the week.
The case is the culmina-tion of years of acrimony between Lutfi and Spears’ family and conservators, who successfully obtained a restraining order against him to keep him from con-tacting the singer or try-ing to intervene in her life. The order has expired, but conservatorship attorneys are seeking repayment for more than $93,000 in legal fees – a judgment Lutfi is appealing.
Lutfi sued in February 2009, roughly a year after Spears was hospitalized and placed under the con-servatorship to take con-trol of her health and fi-nances. The move by Jamie Spears came after months of erratic behavior by his daughter, including shav-ing her head, speaking in a British accent and other bizarre incidents that also led to her losing custody of her two sons with ex-hus-band Kevin Federline.
Lutfi was a constant presence around Spears during the tumultuous pe-riod. In his court case he maintains that he was try-ing to help her, though her parents paint a more sin-ister picture. They say Lu-tfi drugged and isolated
their daughter – cutting her phone line and hiding her cellphones – and used the paparazzi as “henchmen.”
Many of the claims were included in court filings used to obtain the con-servatorship, but Lynne Spears included them in her 2008 book “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tab-loid World.” Lutfi is suing for libel and defamation based on three chapters in the book that describe him as a “general” to the pa-parazzi and portray him as a man trying to manipulate
not only the singer, but her mother.
Lutfi claims he was try-ing to aid Spears’ career and help her regain cus-tody of her children. The book’s allegations have caused him to be “sub-jected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and public scorn,” his lawsuit states.
Lutfi’s attorney, Joseph Schleimer, and attorneys for the Spears family de-clined comment on the trial, which may last nearly three weeks.
Lynne Spears’ attorney,
Stephen Rohde, has noted in pretrial hearings that the burden is on Lutfi to prove that the statements in the book are untrue and that his client knew they were false.
A judge has also lim-ited the case against Ja-
mie Spears, who Lutfi ac-cuses of hitting him in the chest at the singer’s house shortly before the conser-vatorship’s establishment. Lutfi is no longer entitled to recoup damages for emo-tional distress if a jury finds that a battery occurred.

BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — Gary Collins, an actor, television show host and former master of ceremo-nies for the Miss Amer-ica Pageant, died Satur-day, authorities said. He was 74.
Collins, a resident of Bi-loxi, Miss., died of natural causes just before 1 a.m. Saturday after he was ad-mitted Friday evening to Biloxi Regional Medical Center, according to Harri-son County Coroner Gary Hargrove.
During the 1980s, Col-lins hosted the Miss Amer-ica pageant and the tele-vision shows “Hour Magazine” – for which he won a Daytime Emmy in 1983 – and “The Home Show.”
As an actor, he appeared in numerous movies and was a fixture on television in the 1960s and 1970s, playing a variety of guest roles in comedies and dra-mas including “Perry Ma-son,” “The Love Boat” and “Ironside,” among others. He also starred in regu-lar series including “The
Wackiest Ship in the Army” and “The Iron Horse” in the 1960s and the “The Sixth Sense” in the 1970s.
He kept acting for de-cades, appearing as late as 2009 in an episode of the TV show “Dirty Sexy Money.”
Collins was married to former Miss America and Mississippi native Mary Ann Mobley.
Best known as a hand-some and amiable on-air personality, his public im-age suffered at times be-cause of run-ins with the law.
In 2009, he pleaded guilty in Santa Barbara,
Calif., to misdemeanor driving under the influ-ence – his third offense. In 2010, he was fined $500 in Jackson, Miss., for leav-ing the scene of a traffic accident.
Last year, a Harrison County judge dismissed charges against Collins for allegedly leaving a Biloxi restaurant without paying his bill.
Dismissal came after a restaurant employee asked to with draw his complaint in the case.
Information on fu-neral arrangements was not available Saturday afternoon.

In recent weeks, courts have ruled on a number of controversial new restric-tions concerning voting in several key battleground states, including Ohio, Flor-ida and Pennsylvania.
These laws take various forms, ranging from re-quirements for voters to present photo identifica-tion at the polls to shorten-ing the window of time for early voting. However, they do share a common origin: All of them have been put into place by Republican
state legislatures.Critics of these measures
claim they target minori-ties, students and low-in-come individuals – all con-stituencies that traditionally vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party.
The Republicans behind these measures counter that they are aimed at pre-venting voter fraud. So far, it seems the judges aren’t buying it.
In Florida, a federal judge blocked a law signed by Republican Gov. Rick
Scott last year that created a number of new bureau-cratic requirements for voter registration.
In Pennsylvania, a judge ruled that voters will not have to present a photo ID to cast their ballot in No-vember. Similarly, voter ID laws have been blocked in Texas and Wisconsin.
An effort to shorten early voting in Ohio was also blocked by federal court.
The courts have done the right thing by stepping in and blocking these un-
democratic measures. Ad-vocates of these laws and restrictions, which effec-tively amount to voter sup-pression, failed to back up their claims that these laws are necessary to combat voter fraud.
In fact, in most of these states, proponents of the restrictions were unable to present a single docu-mented case of an individ-ual voting in the place of an-other. Moreover, there were only a handful of cases of any type of voter fraud pre-
sented in court. It seems ap-parent that these measures have been put into place under the guise of fighting voter fraud, while they re-ally intend to further the agenda of the political party behind them.
Thankfully, the courts are stepping in and, hope-fully, preventing what could have been an elec-tion tainted by the suppres-sion of a substantial num-ber of votes.

APRepublican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney picks up a baby as he campaigns at The Golden Lamb restaurant in Lebanon, Ohio, Saturday.
Romney’s ‘Clear Eyes, Full Hearts’ comes too late
Since the beginning of October, Mitt Romney and his campaign have been using forms of the slogan “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose” on the trail.
The motto is from the hit NBC series “Friday Night Lights,” which follows Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) as he coaches the Dillon Panther football team in the heart of Texas.
Coach Taylor instilled “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose” as a rally-ing cry for his team be-fore, during and after games for inspiration and encouragement.
When Romney’s cam-paign revealed it was us-ing the slogan, which I once considered having
tattooed across my chest, I was mortified. “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose”? For Romney, I quickly de-cided, the mantra should be changed to: “Weird Eyes, Full Pockets, Cut My Taxes, Citizens!”
Upon further medita-tion on what I first consid-ered a heinous theft, I re-alized what Romney was doing was absolutely ge-nius. When I learned Mitt and Ann Romney were huge fans of the show “Friday Night Lights” and they had been encourag-ing members of their staff to watch the series, I be-gan rethinking my vision of Mitt Romney.
Like many younger vot-ers, I feel sometimes Rom-ney comes across as a rich stiff. He is awfully ro-botic, and I wondered if the Denver altitude at the first Presidential debate would mess with his Botox
injections. But a Mitt Romney who
likes Tim Riggins and Cru-cifictorious, and who must have cried when Smash Williams got accepted to Texas A&M?
This is a different Rom-ney. This is a Romney I never knew about. It’s the Romney that should have been there all along, and this Romney is probably showing up too late.
I’m not saying I would vote for a guy just because he likes a certain television show or not; that would be asinine. But Romney using the FNL slogan and being more open about his gen-eral humanness on the campaign trail is reveal-ing a side of him people haven’t known, a side that most definitely influences voters.
Obama dominated the campaign game in 2008, and he’s doing it now.
What is one of the most significant reasons for Obama’s political success? He is a likable guy and has staffers with better cultural and aesthetic taste – and he presents himself as a person.
I mean, seriously, go to Barack and Mitt’s cam-paign websites and com-pare. It looks like Mr. Pres-ident had graduates of Rhode Island School of Design and Mark Zucker-berg do his website. Mitt Romney might have used Geocities.
Barack Obama has been open about himself, and he’s human. He picks a Fi-nal Four on ESPN every year and passed a pop cul-ture quiz on “The View.” Mitt Romney has not done much to dispel the myth that all he cares about is money and his really fancy horse.
I still don’t know how
I feel about Romney us-ing the greatest slogan in all of history on the cam-paign trail. Right now, it doesn’t really matter, because “Friday Night Lights” creator Peter Berg came out and wrote a letter to Romney, calling his use of “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts” plagiarism.
Berg wrote, “I was not thrilled when I saw that you have plagiarized this expression to support your campaign. Your pol-itics and your campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series.”
So there’s that.However, whether I be-
lieve Romney embodies the spirit and values of “Friday Night Lights” or not, his use of the slogan and his attempt at cultural relevance represent a side of Romney America needs to see and has wanted to
see in the candidate.If you do your research,
you’ll find that President Obama was ahead of Rom-ney in the “Friday Night Lights” game anyway.
In May, a picture went up on the President’s Tum-blr of him throwing a foot-ball with the caption “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts” under-neath. Somehow, Rom-ney’s splash with the show is a much bigger deal. It’s because we’re finally see-ing who Mitt Romney is as a man and as a human.
Just more than 20 days from the election, it might be too late. Yet recent polls after the first Presidential debate have shown Rom-ney gaining ground in Ohio and other critical states.
If Romney does indeed keep his eyes clear and his heart full, there’s no tell-ing what might happen in these coming weeks before the election.

The federal debt is a crime against college students and recent graduates. Ameri-cans born around 1990 are heading into the workforce this year with several times more debt than their par-ents had at the same age. Currently, the U.S. govern-ment owes over $16 trillion,
up $6 trillion from 2008 and $10 trillion from 2000. The millennial generation will be expected to pay for this debt even though they did not vote on the policies that created it.
Young Americans fight-ing for prosperity and prog-ress are running on a tread-mill on which every attmept to move forward is met with a backward drag by debt. So far this fiscal year, 343 billion tax dollars have been spent
simply on interest to main-tain the existing debt. This money does not fund pro-grams like Medicare, nor does it fund services like road construction. This is $343 billion in pure interest t hat taxpayers lose every year. Americans cannot af-ford to continue to pay more and more taxes without re-ceiving services and benefits back. As the debt gets bigger, it pulls more of us down.
Tackling the monstrous
debt situation will require a change in attitudes and ideas regarding spending. Currently, the government uses a severely misguided budgeting strategy known as baseline budgeting. Un-der baseline budgeting, the budget of each department or program for each year is assumed to be equal to the budget for the previous year plus a built-in projected in-crease. Negotiations are then made with respect to this as-
sumption that spending will always increase. Therefore, a budget allocation of “zero” means that a department’s funding actually increased by the projected amount. Even a “cut” to the baseline could still represent an in-crease in spending from the previous year.
In order to bring the debt down, voters must learn to reinterpret how the govern-ment talks about budgeting. It is just not enough to make
cuts to a projected increase. We must settle for nothing less than a real, significant and immediate reduction in the actual number of dol-lars the government spends. At this time, the government would need to cut about $1.3 trillion in spending just to balance expenditures with revenues. More cuts will be needed in the future in or-der to pay down the debt and help our country begin to heal.

BORN TODAY This year your birth-day falls on a New Moon, signifying a new beginning in at least one seg-ment of your life. Your creativity and magnetism intertwine, which will open you up to more possibilities. As much as you might forge ahead, you also could feel as if you are lacking ei-ther financially or emotionally. If you are single, a relationship is yours to havel.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Sometimes others see your actions and decisions as bold. Some-one who is not accustomed to your style could become angry. This per-son will let you know how upset he or she is. An apology or explanation is in order. Consider adapting your style for more- sensitive folks. To-night: With a favorite person.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH A friend or loved one knows your Achil-les’ heel and will use that weakness periodically. You might be stunned by this person’s words. You do not need to retaliate; instead, use this moment to look within yourself. Consider his or her commentary and internalize what is viable. Tonight: Join a friend or two.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Your creativity emerges in the pres-ence of others’ energized, and some-times bold, actions. You understand the forces at work here. Determine if and where you want to become in-volved. Your instincts will guide you with a loved one. Tonight: Time for a brisk walk.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH You have a tendency to be moody.
You acknowledge that fact, but when you look around, you might decide that you currently are on more solid ground than many of your comrades. Tonight: A child or loved one pulls you into a fun scene.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Use the morning to the max in order to deal with others accordingly. In the afternoon, an investment or domes-tic issue emerges. Give thought to how you could use this pivotal sit-uation. This evolving matter could be the basis of a new beginning. To-night: Home is your palace.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You remain very caring with a rela-tive or neighbor. Others note your compassion and also your ability to act on that quality. A long-wished-for opportunity to realign another important relationship might occur out of the blue. A new beginning be-comes possible as a result. Tonight: Accept an invitation, hang out and visit with friends.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Do your thing in the morning. You could become rather frustrated by a situation that keeps emerging. De-tach by doing something totally un-related to your present thoughts, and a solution will emerge. Focus on cre-ating better security and more op-portunities for yourself and others. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You might be slow to start, like the turtle, with the hare leading in front. Don’t worry -- your endurance and steadiness will pay off. By the day’s end, you’ll be the winner. Your pro-cess and style in the evening allow
you to catch up and succeed in what-ever you deem important. Tonight: Out on the town.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Check out what’s happening behind the scenes. You have so much energy, and it is close to impossible to hold you back. How you see a situation could change radically. You laugh, and oth-ers’ moods elevate. A child or loved one might behave in an unexpected manner. Tonight: Let the good times happen.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH In an attempt to be nonreactive, you might have swallowed a lot of anger. If you find that you are doing or saying something unusual or subtly hostile, look within yourself. It is important to express negative feelings, too, but in a palatable manner. As a result, you could experience a new beginning. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You are in the limelight, and you’ll make an impression on a boss or supervisor. The trail you blaze easily could lead to a new beginning, if you so choose. Your creativity flourishes, yet the cost of this self-expression could be high. Tonight: Could go into the wee hours.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Use timing to facilitate your desires. In-dividual conversations will flourish in the morning and midday. Afterward, take a serious look at what is happen-ing around you. You might want to do more research. Tonight: Let your mind wander. Daydream away.

Andy MenArchek/The dAILy AThenAeUMFletcher’s Grove performs at 123 Pleasant Street as part of their October residency.
by hunter homistekassociate a&e editor
C i n c i n n a t i - b a s e d “ t r a s h g r a s s ” g r o u p Rumpke Mountain Boys is set to headline a show Wednesday night at 123 Pleasant Street.
The show, which begins at 10 p.m., is the third in-stallment of local progres-sive folk group Fletcher’s Grove’s October residency at the venue.
A concept new to 123, Fletcher’s Grove’s resi-dency marks a chance for the Morgantown natives to help local and out-of-state bands experience the West Virginia music scene at its finest venue.
“There are a lot of ven-ues across the country to
do this, but I think we’re the first band to really join with 123,” said Fletcher’s Grove guitarist/vocalist Ryan Krofcheck. “It (the residency) lets us bring in bands we normally wouldn’t play with.”
While gaining experi-ence with new groups is a vital aspect of the resi-dency, the collaboration also affords Fletcher’s Grove the ability to give back to bands that have helped them in the past. Such is the case Wednes-day night, as the group in-vites singer/songwriter BaTmaN to open the night’s festivities.
“We did a three-run show with BaTmaN in Maryland, so this is our way of kind of returning
the favor,” Krofcheck said. “His main group is BaT-maN’s Dynamic Trio, but he’ll be showing up just as a solo act Wednesday to play some of his bluesy/rock-and-roll tunes.”
After BaTmaN takes the stage, the audience will be treated to a different side of Fletcher’s Grove, as the group will take the stage as Shady Grove – a stripped-down, acoustic version of the band Morgantown has come to love.
“We’re trying to get the name Shady Grove out there more so we can do more shows like this one,” Krofcheck said. “Some-times, our music (as Fletcher’s Grove) can be a little too in-your-face, and it doesn’t flow well with
other bands because of that.”
With Rumpke Mountain Boys headlining the show, Shady Grove’s kicked-back approach will be a wel-come addition to the stage.
The Ohio group is known for its bluegrass style, so the acoustic styl-ings of Shady Grove will complement the sound perfectly.
“They (Rumpke Moun-tain Boys) are a great group of guys, and they have a cool sound with what they call ‘trash grass,’ Krofcheck said. “It is bluegrass, but with their look and sound, it definitely is in that whole festival genre. They’re all patched up with dreads down to their ankles, and they’re all good pickers,
too.” Ru mp ke Mou nt a i n
Boys’ sound is hard to pinpoint, but with more than a decade of experi-ence and influences rang-ing from traditional moun-tain music to Tom Waits, Jimmy Cliff and the Grate-ful Dead, fans are certain to be treated to an evening of diverse musical stylings.
This idea of diversity is exactly what Fletcher’s Grove and 123 Pleasant Street want to showcase with the band’s residency, and Krofcheck feels this show is a step in the right direction.
“The whole idea was to be able to put on a dif-ferent show every week and show some diversity,” Krofcheck said. “This is
the third or fourth show we’ve done with the full Shady Grove outfit, and we’re good friends with Rumpke, so I’m sure we’ll do some good collabora-tions for the crowd.”
With a lineup that fea-tures Rumpke Mountain Boys’ signature “trash-grass” sound along-side Shady Grove’s mel-low acoustic offerings and BaTmaN’s traditional rock jams, Wednesday’s show promises some-thing for the music lover in everybody.
Tickets for the event are available at the door for $8.
Concertgoers must be 18 years old to attend.

Kansas State game now a
must-winby cody schuler
managing editor
Injuries aside, I’m not sure it could have gone much worse for the Mountaineers Saturday afternoon.
Fans across the country tuned in, expecting a high-scoring shootout between the Red Raiders and the Moun-taineers only to find the coun-try’s best gunslinger was out-played by a kid with a funny name.
Seriously, what the heck is a Doege?
Alas, look on the bright side, Mountaineer fans – at least senior quarterback Geno Smith didn’t throw an inter-ception, right? Too soon?
All jokes aside, put down that fifth Red Bull, take a deep breath and listen to me, West Virginia fans: Everything is go-ing to be all right.
Yep, it’s true – at least if West Virginia can win this Saturday.
Realistically, heading into the season, what were your goals for this team? If you were hoping for a National Championship before the season, then I’m sorry. That was never really fair to expect out of this team.
However, to be fair, if you got caught up in the Heisman hoopla and adrenaline rush the first five games of this sea-son provided and started to think in the back of your head that maybe, just maybe, this team could make it to the na-tional title game, then I com-pletely understand.
But now is the perfect time to come back down to Earth and realign your fo-cus on a Big 12 title – which to me would be the absolute highest level of success this team could have reached this season.
Even then, that’s still ask-ing a lot.
I know you’re down after the Texas Tech game, and I don’t blame you. However, the good thing about college football today, especially in a conference with as much par-ity as the Big 12, is that there’s room for a mulligan.
The key is holding on to that mulligan for as long as possible. So the Mountain-eers blew it on a windy day in Lubbock – so what?
West Virginia can probably still control its own destiny if

by Nick Arthurassociate sports editor
Many wondered why then-No.4 West Virginia was only a four-point favorite against then-unranked Texas Tech.
But the Vegas oddsmakers are ap-parently smarter than fans thought.
Red Raider quarterback Seth Doege threw for more than 500 yards, and No. 18 Texas Tech (5-1, 2-1) handed the Mountaineers (5-1, 2-1) their worst margin of defeat since 2001.
The 49-14 rout in front of 57,328 at Jones AT&T Stadium ended No. 17 West Virginia’s nine-game winning
streak dating back to last season.“They outplayed us, they out-
coached us and they outplayed us on all three sides of the ball,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Hol-gorsen. “There were a lot of prob-lems offensively. We weren’t finish-ing blocks.”
The Mountaineers found them-selves down 14-0 early in the game and were able to cut the deficit in half near the end of first quarter, but 35 unanswered points by the Red Raid-ers followed, putting the game out of reach.
West Virginia was unable to estab-lish a run game, and senior quarter-back Geno Smith just couldn’t seem
to find a rhythm.“Anytime you don’t get the run
game going, there’s (added) pressure on Geno (Smith),” Holgorsen said. “That’s our jobs – coaches – to take pressure off him … We just didn’t ex-ecute offensively. It was a poor per-formance offensively.”
Smith, who had 12 touchdown passes in his last two outings enter-ing Saturday’s contest, was held to just one passing touchdown and 295 yards against the stout Texas Tech defense.
“There are no excuses for what happened today. I was off,” Smith said. “I wasn’t hitting my targets. I wasn’t hitting my reads … We’re just
going to evaluate the film and get better, as we always do.”
The Mountaineer defense, though, surrendered nearly 700 yards of total offense and 30 first downs.
Due to some injuries, West Vir-ginia was forced to use many younger players, but defensive coor-dinator Joe DeForest isn’t using that as an excuse.
“We used freshmen at the cor-ner spot today, the safety spot and the defensive line spot. That’s not an excuse, though,” DeForest said. “We just have to get better. You can’t blame it on the freshmen. You have
smith struggles to find rythym in first big 12 lossby MichAel cArVelli
sports editor
Through the first five games of the season, Geno Smith and the West Virginia offense were masterful.
Even in the games where they had some struggles, the Mountaineers were always able to put enough points on the board to help them come away with a victory. Whenever things could go their way, they did.
Until Saturday.In No. 4 West Virginia’s
49-14 loss to Texas Tech, everything that went right for the Mountaineers in the first part of the season didn’t happen.
“There’s no excuse for what happened today. I was off; I wasn’t hitting my targets,” Smith said. “But it’s a team game. We win as a team, and we lose as a team. There’s no reason to hang our heads.
“We’re going to evaluate the film and get better, as we always do.”
Smith completed 29 of his 55 pass attempts, the most incompletions since his 27 against LSU last season.
He threw for 295 yards, his second time with fewer than 300 yards this season, and it was the first time he threw for fewer than two touchdowns since last sea-son’s regular season finale against South Florida.
Playing against one of
the top pass defenses in the country, the senior fell short of his goal to lead his team to a victory.
“I played the game the way I always do. It’s just one of those games that everyone has,” Smith said. “I just think I didn’t do enough within the game to get it done. I put 100 per-cent of the blame on my-self, because I know I can do a lot better.”
But, as it usually hap-pens once teams get into conference play, Smith and the Mountaineers won’t have a lot of time to dwell on their mistakes this week. With a talented top-five team in Kansas State coming into Morgantown Saturday, they know they can’t afford to lose a sec-ond game in a row.
“We’ve got to move on from this; we can’t hang our heads,” Smith said. “We can’t let one game affect the rest of our sea-son, because we’ve got six games to go.
“We’re all in this thing together – that’s the way it’s going to be. We don’t care about the media hype. We don’t care about the out-siders. We don’t care about the critics. We’re a band of brothers, and we’re going to continue to fight.”
After averaging nearly 400 passing yards per game, West Virginia ran into a Texas Tech defense that had played really well until its loss to Oklahoma a
week ago.Coming off the loss and
seeing the Mountaineers come in more confident than ever after a huge road victory against Texas had the Red Raider defense readier than ever to make a statement against the na-tion’s most efficient passer.
“They came in really cocky, just kind of on the high road,” said Texas Tech safety Cody Davis. “To get up on them fast is big in games like this. You kind of show them we’re serious and get a jump on them and get the momen-tum on our side and our stadium.”
Saturday’s game could very well serve as a reality check for West Virginia’s offense. It showed them things won’t always be as easy as they were in the first few games of the year.
It also showed them there’s always room for improvement.
“Everyone’s going to give us their best show,” Smith said. “We’re the of-fense that everyone’s gun-ning for. We get all the media attention, and ev-eryone wants to say we’re the best thing since sliced bread.
“The thing about us is that we work hard from week to week. We’re not going to let this affect us. We’re going to move on and get better.”

to take ownership as a coach.”Offensively, WVU logged
25 first downs and didn’t commit a turnover. Still, the offense seemed to stall any-time the Mountaineers began to move the ball.
Smith put that responsibil-ity on his own shoulders.
“I didn’t do enough to win the game. I measure myself on wins and losses,” Smith said. “One thing I do know is that we’ll bounce back. That’s really all there is to it. We’re going to put this game be-hind us.”
Whether the Mountain-eers were unfocused after coming off of an emotional win at Texas last Saturday or because a huge matchup with Kansas State awaits next weekend, it doesn’t seem to matter to Holgorsen.
“The bottom line is this: They played better than us on all three sides of the ball. They played harder than us. They outcoached us,” he said. “We’re never going to use in-juries as an excuse. We just got outplayed on all three sides of the ball.”
MEN’S SOCCER
WVu defeats hartwick 3-1, stays unbeaten in MAcby AMit bAtrA
sports Writer
The stage was set for the No. 21 West Virginia men’s soccer team on Senior Day against Hartwick. In honor of its eight seniors, WVU hoped to continue its magic at Dick Dlesk Soccer Sta-dium before a pivotal Mid-American Conference game against No. 3 Akron next Fri-day night.
It was the final home game for seniors Eric Schoenle, Yale Tiley, Uwem Etuk, Tra-vis Pittman, Peabo Doue, Pat Eavenson, Francis Mo-lasoko and Shadow Sebele. The group has seen action in 380 career games, scoring 47 goals and 21 assists under the direction of head coach Marlon LeBlanc.
The seniors provided a spark for the Mountaineers, as Sebele and Etuk were able to score and lead West Vir-ginia to a 3-1 victory.
WVU edged Hartwick in the shots category, 11-7. The Mountaineers scored first, as freshman Majed Osman headed a ball past goalkeeper Tom Buckner within the first two minutes of the match.
Etuk issued the insurance goal as he scored on a left-footed shot that Buckner got a hand on, but the ball still went past the goal line to give
the Mountaineers a 2-0 lead.“Senior Day is special for
all of us, as we get recog-nized,” Etuk said. “The most important thing for us was to make sure we left with a win, and that’s what we did.”
Hartwick’s only goal came from Cleyon Brown off a cor-ner and past Mountaineer goalkeeper Pat Eavenson. It was Brown’s sixth of the season.
Sebele earned his first goal of the season after Doue set him up with the assist. Get-ting the goal on Senior Day made the wait a bit easier.
“It was very special,” Se-bele said. “I was getting kind of worried. It was kind of frustrating. I knew the goal was going to come anyway, so I wasn’t too worried. I just had to play my game.
“This was a good perfor-mance right before a big game at Akron. They’re going to be a really good team, and for us to come out here and play well is good for our con-fidence moving forward.”
Sebele’s performance was needed after Schoenle went down early with a head in-jury following a collision with a Hartwick player. Schoenle did not return after the col-lision for safety precautions.
After running concus-sion tests, LeBlanc said he thinks the All-American de-
fender should be ready to go for Akron.
“I thought we were okay on the day – not great and not bad,” LeBlanc said. “I thought we scored some re-ally good goals. After the fact, realizing it was two seniors, it was nice. Shadow’s was a
long time coming. At the end of the day, it’s three points, and we move forward.”
With a national power-house in Akron approach-ing Friday, this game was important in terms of stand-ings and getting some mo-mentum going for a match
that could decide the regular season MAC championship.
“Right now, I think it’s a two-team race,” LeBlanc said. “They’re a good team, and they have good players.
“We have to be careful in our approach. We have to make sure we understand
the environment we’re play-ing in is going to be difficult. Their players are going to be energized and flying all over the place.
“We’re just going to have to be cautious.”

VOLLEybALL
by AustiN seidelsports Writer
The West Virginia volley-ball team lost its seventh-straight match this week-end, falling to Texas Tech Saturday to drop to 8-13 on the season.
The Mountaineers re-corded 46 kills and 64 digs as a team, but it wasn’t enough, and the Red Raid-ers made several adjust-ments following an open-ing-set loss to take the final three sets and the victory against the young WVU squad.
The Mountaineers stepped out to an early lead against Texas Tech after taking the first set, but the Red Raiders were quickly able to climb back into the driver’s seat.
“I can’t really repeat ev-erything that was said (dur-ing the break),” said WVU volleyball coach Jill Kramer. “But the short of it is, basi-cally, that I told them they were not playing out there – that they needed to show that they wanted to win be-cause at the moment they didn’t. I told them that it seemed that they didn’t
even want to play.” That was Kramer’s re-
sponse to her team’s -.200 hit percentage. The team responded well as West Vir-ginia hit a match high .273 and went 14-25 on side out attempts.
Despite the improved numbers, Texas Tech came out on top as they took the set 25-22. Tech would then struggle to take the fourth set, as the Moun-taineers drew the game even at 24, but a blocking error by sophomore mid-dle blocker Evyn McCoy and a kill by the Red Raid-
ers’ Tory Vaughan gave the Texas Tech squad the 26-24 set victory and the 3-1 match victory.
In a game Kramer de-scribed as a missed op-portunity, there were still several silver linings to be found throughout the game.
Freshman outside hit-ter Hannah Sackett strug-gled mightily in the month of September and has since returned to her Big 12 Rookie of the Week form as she recorded 36 kills during the past three matches for a 12 kills-per-match average.
Entering their Oct. 6 matchup against Duquesne, Sackett has been in danger of losing her team-leading kill to-tal as fellow freshman hit-ter Nikki Attea closed the gap to within one. Sackett responded with a 20-kill performance and has not looked back since.
Sackett recorded 13 kills against Texas Tech as well as a match-high four aces to boost her season totals to 203 kills and 26 service aces.
“We need to work on
remembering why we’re out there,” Sackett said. “Remembering our com-petitive spirit and just stick-ing it to (the opponent) and getting that win.”
The Mountaineers will hope to record a win against Baylor, who de-feated the Mountaineers in three consecutive sets in last year’s meeting as non-conference opponents and snap their seven-game conference slide.
“(Baylor, West Virginia and Texas Tech) are the three youngest teams in the conference,” Kramer said. “(Baylor) is a solid team, and they just recorded their first conference win against Texas Tech and, just like any other night, we just have to show up and play and take care of the ball.”
West Virginia looks to utilize its strong serving and Sackett’s hard swings to pound out its first Con-ference win against the Baylor Bears as it travels to Waco, Texas, Oct. 20 to face off on Baylor’s home turf.
WVU remains winless in Big 12, falls to Red Raiders

it defeats No. 4 Kansas State under the lights at Milan Pus-kar Stadium Saturday. That would put every team in the Big 12 back to a single loss.
It’s too early in the season to tell what’s going to hap-pen. Last year, West Virginia lost two conference games and looked out of contention for the Big East title. Then, a funny thing happened – madness struck. Rankings changed, teams shifted, and before anyone knew it, West Virginia was on a flight to Mi-ami to play in the Discover Orange Bowl.
This was definitely the cra-ziest week of football the Big 12 has seen this season. Kan-sas almost beat Oklahoma State, and Baylor was defeated by a TCU team that everybody forgot was still playing after its starting quarterback was dis-missed from the team.
Never can you truly say that a season is done after one loss; there are plenty of goals still within reach – even still if a couple more losses are still set to come West Virgin-ia’s way.
All I know is that if this team can regroup, refocus and reconsider ever think-ing about the debacle of a game Texas Tech was, then maybe it can knock off a top-five ranked team at home and jump back into discussion for a Big 12 Championship.
So many good things can come out of Saturday’s matchup with the fourth-ranked Wildcats that it’s even a good time for fans to forget Texas Tech and look on the bright side of things.
After all, it’s not even Hal-loween yet.

WOMEN’S SOCCER
WVu ties after goal from baylor in closing seconds
by robert kreissports Writer
After holding a 1-0 lead since the 25-minute mark in the first half, the No. 16 West Virginia women’s soc-cer team gave up a game-ty-ing goal on a free kick from just outside the box with 13 seconds left.
It drove the game into double overtime where the Mountaineers would end up with a draw against No. 20 Baylor Friday night.
“It’s tough. I think we all feel, with 13 seconds left in the game, we could have managed things a lit-tle bit better,” said West Vir-ginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “I think we could have done a better job man-aging the clock a little bit, and that’s something that we’ve talked about.
“There’s a lot of things, in retrospect, we could have done better. Unfortunately, we didn’t, and we didn’t get the results. Now we have to move forward to OU.”
Mountaineer goalkeeper Sara Keane, who tied a ca-reer high with eight saves Friday, said the mistake at the end of regular time was uncharacteristic for the ex-
perienced West Virginia squad.
“It was something I don’t think our team would nor-mally do,” Keane said. “But, you know, everyone lets down at some point, and is that an excuse? No – but it’s not one person to blame, it’s a team effort.
“It was just something we need to clean up and not let happen again.”
West Virginia’s lone goal came from midfielder Kara Blosser. Blosser blasted a put-back shot on the ground into the right corner of the goal past the Baylor keeper. After the Mountaineer score, the game turned into a defensive gridlock.
Baylor harassed forwards Kate Schwindel, Frances Silva and Kelsie Maloney the entire game. The trio of Mountaineer scorers faced trouble developing an of-fensive attack for most of the game, due in large part to the man-to-man defense Baylor played.
Izzo-Brown said she knew Baylor would play ag-gressive defense and was warned about how difficult it was to play against the pressure.
“We knew they were go-
ing to man-mark us,” Izzo-Brown said. “We knew that was something they were going to do, and it’s hard to break through.
“It’s a different style of play Baylor plays. It’s new to me, and everyone said it’s a different style and something you have to experience.”
Although the draw was not the result Izzo-Brown and the Mountaineers were looking for, they still stand in great shape as the regular season hits the fi-nal stretch. With the draw, West Virginia remains un-beaten in their last 11 games. Its record sits at 9-3-4, and it has yet to lose to a Big 12 Conference school in its first season with the conference.
“I am paid to win, so it is unfortunate,” Izzo-Brown said. “A tie at this point is better than a loss, and we’re going to learn from it.”
The Mountaineers will have to learn quickly with only a game at home against Oklahoma and a game on the road at Texas left be-fore the Big 12 Tournament begins.

This weekend’s Pre-Na-tionals race in Louisville, Ky., was the second time in the last month the West Virginia cross country team raced on the course. Earlier in the year, the team com-peted in the Greater Louis-ville Classic, picking up its best result of the season.
West Virginia used that experience from the past race and turned it into a top-two finish Saturday. WVU finished the meet with 157 points, while the winner of the meet, Utah Valley, fin-ished with 154 points. Sarah Martinelli crossed the fin-ish line first for the Moun-taineers with a personal best time of 21:20:2; finish-ing first on the team gives her the opportunity now to become one of the team’s
leaders.“This race was a way of es-
tablishing myself as a team leader. This was a big deal – I get to start stepping up now. We have a solid team here, where everyone steps up,” Martinelli said.
Martinelli attributes her success to the training pro-gram of head coach Sean Cleary and his flexibility with his student athletes.
“I am successful because of Coach Cleary. I couldn’t be a student athlete with him,” Martinelli said. “I was a little sick this week, and he gave me two days off to recover, which helped me a lot. Everyone is putting in extra work on the side, which always helps.”
Martinelli entered this weekend’s race with a dif-ferent mindset. Instead of associating pain and fa-tigue together, she sepa-
rated them and pushed on to her best finish so far this season.
“When I got tired earlier in the season, I would fo-cus on how much it hurts to be this tired,” she said. “This race, when I started to get tired, I just kept telling my-self that I’m just a little tired – not in pain.”
Coming off back-to-back meets with top-two finishes is a reason to celebrate, but Martinelli sees a lot of work still has to be done. The first Big 12 Conference cham-pionships are two weeks away, and that is when she would like the team to be-gin to peak.
“It was fun to celebrate with the team. Everyone was really excited. But these next two weeks we will have a lot more-vigorous work-outs,” Martinelli said. “We have the endurance; now it is time to tap into the speed workouts. This time of the year is about getting faster.”
Early in the year, coach Cleary expected his team to be competitive in its inau-gural season in the Big 12. The team he has this year looks like they have a real shot of claiming a confer-ence title. Every meet, the team seems to get better, and that gives Martinelli confidence this year’s team can be very successful.
“We have a shot to win the championship,” Marti-nelli said. “We have a solid top seven girls that can all finish well. We have a chance to win this.”
