Niwot junior Hunter Robbie’s brief running career continues to trend upward — a booming stock that nobody from the inside is ready to sell on. A soccer player turned runner his freshman year, Robbie established himself among the best high school distance runners in the nation this past fall and winter. In early November, he finished sixth at the state cross country meet to help the Cougars to a team title in their first year in the 5A classification. A month later, his 21st-place run at the Nike Cross Nationals led them to a national championship, the first-ever won by a boys team from Colorado.

(Matthew Jonas/Staff Photographer) “He’s fierce,” Niwot coach Kelly Christensen said of the Daily Camera runner of the year. “He’s someone who has had to scrap, crawl and fight his way from basically being dead last to being where he is this year.” The dramatic rise only sounds hyperbolic. His progress, meanwhile, is best viewed through struggle. When he arrived to Niwot as a freshman, Christensen said he was one of the slower runners on the team. Robbie himself said he wasn’t immediately taken by the sport. Though, that began to change after he saw results from the work put in. By his sophomore year, he was a varsity runner on a team that qualified for the Nike championships. Even then, he had a ways to go. “We wanted to watch the race from last year (as a team) and that first 2 minutes of the race Hunter is in dead last, sprinting,” Christensen said. “He is going all out and can’t even keep up. And it takes him 2 minutes to pass one person. And everybody wants to watch that over and over because it’s funny. And he’s laughing at himself, too.” Robbie: known to always provide a smile and laugh. Known for this, too: “But he expects it to be hard, and he knows when the race gets harder for everybody else, he thrives.” Robbie eventually passed about 90 runners at Nike’s his sophomore year, finishing middle-of-the-pack in 106th. It, of course, paled in comparison to his 21st-place finish just weeks ago. On a cold and wet day in Portland, Oregon, Robbie was Niwot’s top runner, pushing the Cougars past defending champ Herriman (Utah), which had beaten the Cougars at Nike regionals weeks earlier, and second-place American Fork (UT). “Freshman year, I remember, I wasn’t that good for the first two months and didn’t like it that much,” Robbie said looking back on his journey. “But then I started actually making good jumps, so I started to like it a lot more. I was like, ‘Oh, the harder I work, the faster I run.’ So, it’s satisfying to get that result. And once I was midway through that cross season, I started liking it a lot.” Robbie didn’t win a race this season and wasn’t always Niwot’s top runner. But he was consistent and was at his best in the biggest races. He finished second to teammate and reigning BoCoPreps.com runner of the year Rocco Culpepper at the St. Vrain Cross Country Invitational in September, and then again at the Granite League Championship in October. His sixth-place finish at the state meet at Norris Penrose Event Center was good for second on the team, 1.7 seconds behind Ryder Keeton. Both runners were named to CHSAA’s 5A first team. At Nike’s Southwest Regional, Robbie finished 21st and a few steps behind sophomore Quinn Sullivan (12th) and Keeton (15th), running a personal-best 5K time of 14 minutes and 57.03 seconds.– Nuvo Int'l Group Ltd.

Kaitlin Olson is sharing her support for Blake Lively amid the actress’ lawsuit against It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni . “@blakelively is a kind, lovely, honest and generous person (and an incredible mom) FYI,” Olson, 49, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, December 26, sharing The New York Times Reel breaking down their story regarding Lively’s lawsuit. Lively, 37, sued Baldoni, 40, for sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed on December 20. The actress made a barrage of accusations against her It Ends With Us costar (and the film’s director) detailing what allegedly went down when cameras weren’t rolling and alleged that he orchestrated a smear campaign against her. “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” Lively shared in a statement to The New York Times . Baldoni has since denied the contents of the complaint through his lawyer, Bryan Freedman , calling the allegations “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.” The attorney claimed in a statement to Us that Lively filed the suit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about what went down on the movie’s set. Olson’s support for Lively comes amid their husbands joint business venture. Olson is married to Rob McElhenney , who co-owns the Wrexham AFC soccer team with Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds . (The pair bought the Welsh sports team in 2020 and star in a show titled Welcome to Wrexham which chronicles the trials and tribulations of the squad.) Prior to her social media statement, Olson spoke with Us Weekly exclusively about her connection with Lively . Unfortunately, the two couples don’t double date that often. “Everyone’s very, very busy,” Olson shared during the High Potential premiere in September. “I’ve met Blake twice.” Olson explained that she and McElhenney, 47, “live on a different coast” than Lively and Reynolds, 48. “I would love to hang out with them both more often,” Olson added. “I love Ryan.” You have successfully subscribed.

She and their two sons — Axel, 14, and Leo, 12 — have also become soccer fans thanks to McElhenney’s big purchase. “Honestly, it’s absolutely extraordinary. There’s nothing to compare it to,” Olson told Us of Wrexham. “It’s unlike anything we’ve ever done before, and this community is so wonderful. They are such wonderful people.” The actress added: “If you ever get the chance to visit, I highly suggest it. They are so supportive of each other and supportive of their team. They’ve welcomed us like family, and I would do anything for them.”

The 10 costliest climate disasters in 2024 racked up damage totalling more than 200 billion US dollars, Christian Aid has warned. A report from the charity on hurricanes, floods, typhoons and storms influenced by climate change warns that the top 10 disasters each cost more than 4 billion US dollars in damage (£3.2 billion). The figures are based mostly on insured losses, so the true costs are likely to be even higher, Christian Aid said, as it called for action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and finance for poor countries to cope with climate change. Politicians who “downplay the urgency of the climate crisis only serve to harm their own people and cause untold suffering around the world”, climate expert Joanna Haigh said. While developed countries feature heavily in the list of costliest weather extremes, as they have higher property values and can afford insurance, the charity also highlighted another 10 disasters which did not rack up such costs but were just as devastating, often hitting poorer countries. Most extreme weather events show “clear fingerprints” of climate change, which is driving more extreme weather events, making them more intense and frequent, experts said. The single most costly event in 2024 was Hurricane Milton, which scientists say was made windier, wetter and more destructive by global warming, and which caused 60 billion US dollars (£48 billion) of damage when it hit the US in October. That is closely followed by Hurricane Helene, which cost 55 billion US dollars (£44 billion) when it hit the US, Mexico and Cuba just two weeks before Milton in late September. The US was hit by so many costly storms throughout the year that even when hurricanes are removed, other storms cost more than 60 billion US dollars in damage, the report said. Three of the costliest 10 climate extremes hit Europe, including the floods from Storm Boris which devastated central European countries in September and deadly flooding in Valencia in October which killed 226 people. In other parts of the world, floods in June and July in China killed 315 people and racked up costs of 15.6 billion US dollars (£12.4 billion), while Typhoon Yagi, which hit south-west Asia in September, killed more than 800 people and cost 12.6 billion dollars (£10 billion). Events which were not among the most costly in financial terms but which have still been devastating include Cyclone Chido which hit Mayotte in December and may have killed more than 1,000 people, Christian Aid said. Meanwhile, heatwaves affected 33 million people in Bangladesh and worsened the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, flooding affected 6.6 million people in West Africa and the worst drought in living memory affected more than 14 million in Zambia, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe, the charity said. Christian Aid chief executive Patrick Watt said: “There is nothing natural about the growing severity and frequency of droughts, floods and storms. “Disasters are being supercharged by decisions to keep burning fossil fuels, and to allow emissions to rise. “And they’re being made worse by the consistent failure to deliver on financial commitments to the poorest and most climate-vulnerable countries. “In 2025 we need to see governments leading, and taking action to accelerate the green transition, reduce emissions, and fund their promises.” Dr Mariam Zachariah, World Weather Attribution researcher who analyses extreme events in near-real time to discern the role of climate change, at Imperial College London, said: “This report is just a snapshot of climate devastation in 2024. “There are many more droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and floods not included that are becoming more frequent and intense. “Most of these disasters show clear fingerprints of climate change. “Extreme weather is clearly causing incredible suffering in all corners of the world. Behind the billion-dollar figures are lost lives and livelihoods.” And Prof Haigh, emeritus professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College London, said: “The economic impact of these extreme weather events should be a wake-up call. “The good news is that ever-worsening crises doesn’t have to be our long-term future. “The technologies of a clean energy economy exist, but we need leaders to invest in them and roll them out at scale.” The 10 costliest climate disasters of 2024 were: US storms, December to January, more than 60 billion US dollars; Hurricane Milton in the US, October 9-13, 60 billion US dollars (£48 billion); Hurricane Helene in the US, Mexico, Cuba, 55 billion US dollars (£44 billion); China floods, June 9-July 14, 15.6 billion US dollars (£12.4 billion); Typhoon Yagi, which hit south-west Asia from September 1 to 9, 12.6 billion US dollars (£10 billion); Hurricane Beryl, in the US, Mexico and Caribbean islands from July 1-11, 6.7 billion US dollars (£5.3 billion); Storm Boris in central Europe, September 12-16, 5.2 billion US dollars (£4.1 billion); Rio Grande do Sul floods in Brazil, April 28-May 3, 5 billion US dollars (£4 billion); Bavaria floods, Germany, June 1-7, 4.45 billion US dollars (£3.5 billion); Valencia floods, Spain, on October 29, 4.22 billion US dollars (£3.4 billion).
