Los Alamos will once again host the Jemez Mountain Trail Runs.
The Jemez Mountain Trail Runs, which is returning for its eighth consecutive year, is set for Saturday starting at the Los Alamos Posse Lodge on North Mesa.
The runs include a 50-mile ultramarathon, a 50-kilometer race and a half-marathon. The courses run from North Mesa toward Pajarito Mountain, to the Valles Caldera and back again.
Little has changed from last year’s race to this year’s race. Race officials said there will be a little more single-track running at the ski hill which shortens the distance that will be run at the Caldera, but beyond that most runners won’t notice a difference.
The 50-mile race will start at 5 a.m., the 50K race at 6 a.m. and the half-marathon at 8 a.m.
One of the features that attracts runners to the event is that several stretches of the runs take place above 10,000 feet in altitude.
Coloradoans were the top finishers in the 2012 50-mile race. Patrick Garcia of Denver and Diana Finkel of South Fork were the top male and female finishes, with Finkel — who was the No. 4 overall finisher, man or woman — holding off Los Alamos’ Erica Baron. Finkel won with a time of 9 hours, 26 minutes, 29 seconds, while Baron clocked in at 9:29:17.

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James caught the inbounds pass, changed direction and immediately attacked the rim.

There was no one in his way.

There was no stopping him, either.

James made a layup as time expired in overtime, capping a 30-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist effort as the Miami Heat found a way to outlast the Indiana Pacers 103-102 in a wildly back-and-forth Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night. There were 18 ties and 17 lead changes, the last two of those coming in the final 2.2 seconds.

"Two teams fought hard," James said. "We were able to make one more play."

If this is how this series is going to go, then get ready for a classic between teams that absolutely wanted to face the other with a trip to the NBA Finals on the line.

Paul George saved the Pacers at the end of regulation with a 32-footer with 0.7 seconds left, and then made three free throws with 2.2 ticks left in overtime to give Indiana a one-point lead. George pumped his fist gently after the third free throw, then extended his index finger skyward as the teams retreated to their benches to get ready for the final play.

A pair of Los Alamos Hilltopper softball veterans were invited to participate in the North-South All-Star series.
Los Alamos’ Micaela Christensen and Erin Kirk were selected for the Class 4A/5A North All-Star team. The All-Star selections were announced Tuesday by the New Mexico High School Coaches Association.
Selections are made by high school coaches across the state. Only graduating seniors are eligible to participate.
Christensen, one of the most dangerous hitters in Los Alamos program history, was named as a shortstop to the North team. Christensen, a home-schooled student, will attend and play softball for Taylor University in Upland, Ind., next semester.
Kirk, meanwhile, was picked to play first base for the North All-Stars.
This will be a busy summer for Kirk, who is also scheduled to play in the All-Star girls basketball game.
The North-South series will be played June 14-15 at the Farmington Sports Complex, a week after Kirk is scheduled to appear in the All-Star basketball contest.
Piedra Vista, the Class 4A champions this season, placed three players on the North team — pitcher Krissy Fortner, catcher Alex Moreno and third baseman Jordan Montoya — while 4A runner-up Aztec and Albuquerque High, along with Los Alamos, had two selections.
