Gerling Ties School Record at Coe

Cedar Rapids, IA -- Freshman Jon Gerling equalled the Indian Hills school record with an outstanding performance at the Lamb-Kohawk Invitational on Saturday. Gerling's time of 28:09 tied his performance earlier in the year and was good for 10th place. The result by the IHCC freshman was especially impressive when you consider the weather conditions. According to Indian Hills coach Jim Streeby, the temperature was 30 degrees, there was a brisk northwest wind and wet snow was falling when the 8K race got underway.
Steele Fiscus finished in 26th place for the Warriors with a time of 31:31. Lucas Brightwell ran 33:49 for 31st place and Keenan Wyngarden improved his time for the second meet in a row with a 33rd-place finish (34:23) for IHCC.
Streeby noted that only about half as many runners took part in the invitational as last year with the weather certainly the big reason for that.
Indian Hills will have the rest of the month to prepare for the Super Regionals October 31 in Peoria, Illinois.
