Each week the coaches at Boulder City High School nominate an athlete to spotlight for contributions made to his or her team. This week’s honor goes to senior Montana Lloyd, a four-year letterman and captain of the varsity swim team. She has been a regional and state champion numerous times, and was regional swimmer of the year in 2016. To help the girls win this year’s regional title, she won the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard backstroke, as well as leading two first-place relay teams. Lloyd holds the school’s record in the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard backstroke. She is the daughter of Wade and Tiani Lloyd.

One of the best weekend getaways our region affords is to Lone Pine, California. It’s uncrowded — a small town of about 2,000 people — and lies in Owens Valley at the foot of the Sierra Nevadas’ spectacular eastern slope. The area is rich in camping, hiking and fishing opportunities, and has the distinction of being the location where many popular films were shot. Even the four-hour plus drive there can be fun, for much of it is via uncrowded highways through open and attractive country.
