Warriors Show Improvement in Davenport Meet

Davenport, IA -- With several of the runners turning in their lowest times of the season, the Indian Hills men's cross country team took part in the 28th Annual Brissman/Lundeen Invitational at Credit Island on Friday.

Freshman Jon Gerling once again led the Warriors with a time of 28:33 over the 8K course, good for 165th place. Freshman Brennen Wears ran 29:53 in his first meet of the year. One of the Warriors who made a huge improvement was Steele Fiscus, who cut nearly 2:30 off his previous best time, running 30:19. Lucas Brightwell finished behind Fiscus but didn't record a time because his chip didn't read on the electronic finish device. Keenan Wyngarden was 49 seconds faster than his previous best time, rounding out the Warrior runners in a time of 34:26.

Coach Jim Streeby pointed out that, had Brightwell's time counted, the Warriors would have placed 25th as a team. Over 30 teams and more than 700 runners competed in the meet which was run on a flat, soggy course in Davenport.

The next action for the Warriors will come in the Lamb-Kohawk Inviational in Cedar Rapids on October 10.
