Upon the untimely and abrupt loss of head coach Amber Daulbaugh to Webster University, Blackburn’s cross country team called upon one of its own to fill the position. Travis Neel, who graduated from Blackburn in May 2005, has recently been hired as the paid interim head coach of the men’s and women’s cross country teams for the 2005 season.
Neel graduated from Carlinville High School where he ran cross country for three years. Having also run for Blackburn’s Cross Country team for four years and being named most valuable runner for two, Neel is both familiar with the school’s program and seems more than eager to take on the task. |

HETTICK, IL – On Sept. 10 and 11, 2005, a group of Blackburn students, led by Dr. Sam Meredith, completed a climbing and rappelling course at Camp Bunn in
Hettick, Ill. The retreat, which satisfies a half credit for PE 70, is designed to introduce students to the practices and techniques of safe rope climbing and rappelling, as well as build teamwork, communication, trust, self-esteem and leadership skills.
Officially titled COPE, an acronym for Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience, the retreat gives participants the opportunity to learn about climbing ropes, safety harnesses, belaying, and rappelling in a controlled situation with an emphasis on safety. |
