Rock Island, IL -- In one of the largest meets of the entire season, the Indian Hills men's cross country team had personal-best times from four of five runners at the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational on Friday.
Leading the way for the Warriors was sophomore Danny Schieffer, whose time of 28:25 for the 8K race was 54 seconds faster than his previous best time.
Right behind Schieffer was freshman Jake Keller with a time of 28:47, 12 seconds better than his personal-best.
Third for the Warriors was sophomore Henry Majin who ran 1:23 faster than he had before in 29:55. Like Schieffer, Majin was actually faster over the second half of the race than the first half.
"Both Danny and Henry started from scratch with me a year ago," said IHCC coach Jim Streeby, "and they have become more focused and consistent. They have trimmed down and firmed up and are running great. My hat is off to them."
Sophomore Glen Morgan had a season-best time of 30:40 and the Warriors' fifth runner, freshman Cory Billings, knocked over three minutes off his previous best time, finishing in 34:44.
The Warriors finished 29th out of 33 teams and were sixth out of seven community college teams.
Streeby said his squad will have a couple of weeks off before their next competition at the Dan Huston Invitational in Waverly Oct. 8. "We'll go back to work and see how much stronger and faster we can get," said the IHCC coach.
