Waverly, IA -- The Indian Hills men's cross country team competed in the Dan Huston Invitational on Saturday and their times were likely reflected in the 80-degree temperatures. The Warriors had turned in some solid times in their last meet, but, as coach Jim Streeby pointed out, in this meet nearly everyone was about 60 seconds off their personal-bests set in that meet in Rock Island, Ill.
Jon Gerling again led the IHCC runners, placing 50th overall in 27:23, a time that was only 30 seconds slower than his PR, making him the exception in that regard.
Glen Morgan was second for the Warriors with a time of 30:11. Denny Schieffer moved up to third on the team, running 30:37. Steele Fiscus was fourth in 31:59 and Jordan Bradfield moved up into the fifth and final scoring position in 32:56.
Henry Majin ran his first 8K race of the season for IHCC and was right behind Bradfield in 32:59. Marcus Clark (34:40), Keenan Wyngarden (35:09) and Lucas Brightwell (35:27) rounded out the IHCC runners.
Wartburg College, which hosted the Saturday meet, will also host the NCAA Division III Nationals this fall. Teams from as far away as Colorado and Wisconsin entered the Dan Huston Invite so they could become familiar with the course. That led to a field of 28 teams and nearly 300 runners.
Coach Streeby said, "It is hard to find much positive to take away from the day except the experience of coping with the heat."
Indian Hills will now have almost three weeks to prepare for the Super Regionals in Council Bluffs on Oct. 29.
