Lot's to report on today, so we'll start out with quick news items ...
Roehrig wins, breaks record, qualifies ... Gopher junior Liz Roehrig won the Kansas Relays heptathlon yesterday with a school record-setting 5740 points. The mark broke her old school record of 5621, qualified her automatically for the NCAA Championships, and provisionally for the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials.

R.J. McGinnis led four Gopher men to top-10 finishes in the Kansas Relays decathlon with his 4th place, 6879 point performance. Find details HERE.
Grandma's lodging fundraiser trying to stay legal ... A fundraising enterprise centered on the notorious lack of inexpensive lodging in Duluth on Grandma's Marathon weekend ran into legal troubles this week.
The Northern Communities Land Trust holds a fundraiser in which people offer lodging in their home to Grandma’s Marathon participants. The four-year-old fundraiser recently ran afoul of Duluth's lodging and rental ordinances. In an effort to stay on the right side of the law, the Duluth News-Tribune reports, HERE, that the organization will no longer require lodgers to sign leases or make rental payments.
