The recent letter by Anne Roberts ("Loch Raven needs rules, but not deer hunters" June 28) was mind boggling. Yes, of course, we need to abide by the rules in order to preserve our drinking water and for safety reasons. Regarding the survey of residential properties adjacent to Loch Raven that found half of the respondents had negative experiences with hunters and hunting, I have not had one negative experience with hunters through decades of hiking in numerous states. I am a hike leader for the Community College of Baltimore County and have had negative experiences with mountain bikers each time I have led a group of hikers as well as when I hike alone.

The senior captured the individual girls title at Saturday's Baltimore County cross country championships at Dulaney, coming across in 18 minutes, 47.2 seconds. Ruppel, the defending Class 1A state champion, established a fast pace and was able to fend off Dulaney sophomore Isabel Griffith (18:59.2) to come away with the win. In doing so, she took off more than one minute from her time in last year's county championship race, in which she finished second. This year, Ruppel also won the small schools race at the Bull Run Invitational at Hereford and the Barnhart Invitational at Dulaney.

To be a great swimmer, Loyola swim coach Keith Schertle says a person has to have "very good legs, very good kick and be born with a body that flows through water easily. " But on top of that, Schertle — who coaches Loch Raven senior Tanja Kylliainen in the Loyola-Blakefield Aquatics program — said a swimmer has to be committed to "working like a dog. " In Kylliainen, 5 feet 1, 120 pounds, Schertle has such a swimmer and Loch Raven has such a student. Kylliainen carries a 4.9 weighted grade-point average and is a United States Olympic Trials Qualifier in the 200 butterfly and the 400 individual medley, placing first in the 200 fly and 400 IM. She broke the meet records at the 2010 Spring Speedo Sectional Championships Series.

To say that No. 4 Loch Raven sweated out a 15-11, 9-15, 15-12, 15-7 victory over No. 7 Catonsville in the season opener for both teams certainly would be truthful.In more ways than one.Loch Raven first needed to overcome the stifling heat in the Catonsville gymnasium yesterday. The temperature soared to 85 degrees by the final game, and Loch Raven coach Carol McPherson said it made her team wilt a bit at times -- especially in the second game.The Raiders also had to fight off a stubborn Catonsville team.

A RECENT LETTER in The Sun responded to an earlier article about the riding of mountain bikes in the Loch Raven watershed area.The headline had been ''Bikers fight for their turf,'' and the letter writer, Jo Owen, objected to the implication that Loch Raven is mountain bikers' turf in the first place. ''This environmentally sensitive area,'' she wrote, must be protected from two-wheeled hell-raisers.It seems to me that the attack on mountain bikers has itself been based on erroneous assumptions.

After his team's 18-point loss to No. 8 Towson earlier this season, Loch Raven girls basketball coach Ken Witts wondered just what it would take to stop the undefeated -- and virtually unchallenged -- Generals.Last night, in the midst of a 74-48 win by host Towson, he found out."They're almost unstoppable," said Witts.Using the deadly inside-outside combination of center Katie Walker and guards Sarah Weaver and Jessi-ca Owens, Towson went on a 24-3 first-half run to break open a tight game, and never looked back.
