EWU stars earn more accolades

College football: Eastern Washington University senior linebacker J.C. Sherritt, junior running back Taiwan Jones and junior defensive lineman Renard Williams were all named to The Sports Network Preseason NCAA Football Championship Subdivision All-America team.

Sherritt and Jones were both selected to the first team and Williams was picked for the second team.

Earlier in July, Sherritt was selected as the 2010 Big Sky Conference preseason defensive player of the year and was named to the watch list for the Buck Buchanan Award, given to the top defensive player in FCS. Jones landed a spot on the preseason All-BSC team and a place on TSN’s watch list for the Walter Payton Award, given to the top player in FCS.

Williams also earned a spot on the All-BSC preseason squad as all three players earned first team All-Big Sky honors a year ago.

Everest adventure comes to Spokane

Climbing: The world’s highest peak is casting its shadow on Spokane:

Tonight – “Tao of Everest”, a free program with British mountaineer Ian Woodall, 7 p.m. at REI, 1125 N. Monroe.

Woodall tells the story of having no choice but to leave American climber Francys Arsentiev near the summit of Everest, where she died in 1998, and then returning in 2007 to give her a proper burial on the mountain.

Aug. 6 – “The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest” opens Aug. 6 at Riverfront Park IMAX Theater.

The film documents the 1999 effort of an expedition led by Montana climber Conrad Anker to unravel the mysterious death of pioneering Everest climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine.
