Narrative:
We taxied onto runway 19 for departure. For training purposes; we delayed on the runway approximately 30-60 seconds. We heard a radio transmission; 'cessna...on short final; going around.' we looked up and saw the aircraft passing above us. We had been second onto the runway. We were aware of another aircraft in the pattern; and that aircraft was on the downwind approaching base. We had been monitoring CTAF for approximately 5 mins during our taxi from the terminal area. We called out our taxi. When we got to the run-up area; there was another aircraft ahead of us for departure. We waited until they were airborne; then looked for traffic; then pulled onto the runway. We had heard no other xmissions from the aircraft that we had cut off. No downwind call; no base; no final. The first and only call was the one telling us they were on short final. We felt that we had looked adequately; but apparently not.
