Des Moines, IA -- Indian Hills cross country coach Jim Streeby changed things up a little for his team on Sunday as he had the squad take part in the 5K Road Race that was held in conjunction with the Des Moines Marathon.
IHCC had three men's runners among the over 14-hundred participants. Freshman Colter Hentzel led the Indian Hills squad by finishing first in his age group and sixth overall in a time of 17:29.
Tyler Walker, another freshman, was second in his age group and ninth overall, running 18:01.
Frosh Ray Quiroz clocked a time of 18:17 and was third in his age group and 10th overall.
"It ended up being a nice change of pace from running our normal grass and hill courses," said Streeby. "It was some good speed work with great results."
The IHCC coach got in the act himself, winning his age group and beating nearly 900 other runners.
And Hentzel's mother provided some inspiration as she completed the Des Moines Marathon on the same day her son represented Indian Hills in the road race.

Rock Island, IL -- With over 1000 runners from five different states on hand, four Indian Hills athletes took part in the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational hosted by Augustana University on Friday.
Three of the four Warrior runners had their fastest time of the year over the 8K course.
Leading the quartet of IHCC competitors was freshman Colter Hentzel who cut nearly a minute off his previous best time, running 29:06.
Tyler Walker, another freshman, was second for IHCC with a personal-best time of 30:12. Freshman Ray Quiroz ran 31:30 and sophomore Zakk Ellingson finished in 35:08, over two minutes better than his fastest time before Friday.
"This is our fifth meet of the year," said IHCC coach Jim Streeby, "and the top three men have really been fun to watch battle between each other. They work hard and race hard. So far, Colter Hentzel has the fastest time (the 29:06 he ran Friday), and he's been on top for two races between the three runners."
Quiroz has two victories and Walker one in the team competition.
Streeby added, "We are halfway through the season so there is plenty of time to become fitter. It will be fun to see who is going to make the biggest improvement."
