RONAN Four Mission Valley high school athletes ceremoniously inked their national letters of intent to play at regional colleges.
Ronan High School seniors Brant Heiner and Madeline McCrea celebrated their signings in front of family, coaches, friends and fellow teammates late Wednesday afternoon during a signing event held at the Ronan event center.
Heiner capped a milestone year with a third-place finish and all-state accolades during the State A Cross Country Championship held at Rebecca Farm in Kalispell in October. Heiner signed a letter of intent to run cross country and track at Montana Tech in Butte. Heiner said he chose to suit up for the Orediggers because he felt he could make “a big impact” in the young program. The school competed in its inaugural season this past fall.

GREAT FALLS â The University of Providence-Great Falls, Alluvion Health, and Adlera Laboratory have teamed up to create a response to the increased need for rapid and reliable COVID-19 testing.
A news release from UP says that
Adlera Lab, which is a certified diagnostic lab owned and operated by Alluvion Health, will utilize a qPCR machine to process 344 saliva samples per day for the detection of COVID-19. This process is less intrusive than the traditional respiratory swabs, and the utilization of saliva tests - as opposed to traditional swabs - allows trained University personnel to collect samples on-site. It also enables Alluvion Health staff to continue providing community testing to the residents.
