20 YEARS AGO (2000): Janelle Olson was an 11-time All-American runner in track and cross country at Adams State, but most of the races she ran in college were 5,000 and 10,000 meters. Now she wants to be super-competitive at a much longer distance, the marathon. Running with the Discovery USA team she's set her sights on a qualifying time for the Olympic Trials. Her first outing was a success, a 2:42 in the Chicago Marathon this fall.
50 YEARS AGO (1970): North Dakota's two top-ranked and undefeated Class A basketball teams will clash in the first round of the Bismarck Holiday Tournament at the Civic Center.
