XCross Country Season Begins at Pella

Pella, IA -- On what Indian Hills first-year coach Jim Streeby described as "a perfect day to run with clear skies and cooler temperatures," the IHCC men's cross country team opened its fall campaign at the Dutch Invitational, hosted by Central College, on Saturday.
The top finisher for the Warriors was freshman Jon Gerling, who prepped at Winfield-Mt. Union. Gerling finished in 20th place in the 6K race with a time of 20:50. That was just over a minute off the winning time. Next for IHCC was Steele Fiscus, another freshman from BCLUW High School, who was 62nd (22:51). Lucas Brightwell and Keenan Wyngarden, freshmen from Des Moines North and Ottumwa High School, respectively, were next for Indian Hills. Brightwell was 84th (24:14) and Wyngarden 103rd (26:23).
The Warriors will take part in the Les Duke Invitational in Grinnell on Sept. 12. There will be over 30 teams and 350 runners competing in both men's and women's competition in that meet.
