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.
