Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

HOUGHTON — Llaney Hernandez placed 25th out of 130 finishers and teammate Josh Cook came in 27th to lead North Country Community College to a 12th-place finish in the Houghton Highlander Invitational cross-country meet Saturday.

SUNY Brockport won the team competition with 19 points, with SUNYIT totalling 100; Oswego, 116; RIT, 129; and SUNY Morrisville, 163; rounding out the top five. North Country finished with 269 points to beat out Alfred, Finger Lakes CC and Mercyhust Northeast in the 15-team scoring field.

Hernandez completed the 8-kilometer course in 28 minutes, 4 seconds. Cook was timed in 28:10. The Saints’ Jeremy Jones was 45th with a personal-best of 29:22.

Jordan Haviland (81, 32:34) and Zach Peltier (91, 34:48) rounded out the NCCC scorers. Jake Kent (97, 36:58) and Chris Elliott (98, 43:09) also completed the race.

NCCC’s two women finished with seasonal records for a 5k course. Kaylan Short ran a 24:36 to come in 100th, and Clarissa Mango placed 109th out of 116 with a time of 26:04.

The North Country teams will travel to Newburgh on Saturday to compete in the Mount Saint Mary’s College Invitational.
