Eastview senior wins state Class 3A race with late surge Luke Bakken didn’t have to slay Godzilla, just outrun him. Before every cross country season, Eastview boys coach Thomas Sharp asks runners to identify a “Godzilla Goal,” meaning something that seemed so far out of reach that it could only happen in a movie.

All three ran career-best times. Bakken finished in 15 minutes, 6.9 seconds to Goodwin’s second-place 15:07.5 and Molinaro’s 15:14.8, good for third place. Bakken and Goodwin had the two fastest times in the entire state meet, including runners in the Class 2A and Class 1A races. It was the third

Minnetonka’s Heavenly Hunks Introduces Dupe Loops

The mini donuts join the brand’s allergen-friendly lineup of snacks. Heavenly Hunks evolved out of a simple mission: to create a cookie for everyone. Founder Casey Webber adapted his recipe for soft-baked oatmeal cookies to be vegan and gluten-free so his mom and sister could enjoy them too. Now, over a decade later, Heavenly Hunks is available nationwide, and the Minnetonka-based brand has introduced a new but equally inclusive snack for people with dietary sensitivities.
