Warriors Run at Pella

Pella -- Sophomore Jon Gerling had his second straight top-15 finish to start the season as the Indian Hills cross country team took part in the Dutch Invitational on Saturday.

Gerling led the 10 IHCC men's runners to the finish line with a time of 20:27 for the 6K race. That put Gerling in 13th place overall and was 23 seconds faster than his time in the same race last year.

Following Gerling for Indian Hills was Glen Morgan who ran 22:14. Steele Fiscus was next at 22:33 followed by Danny Schieffer at 23:11 and Henry Majin at 24:05.

Two runners, both from Fairfield, were right behind Majin -- Marcus Clark in 24:12 and Jordan Bradfield at 24:20.

Lucas Brightwell edged teammate Keenan Wyngarden by eight seconds, 25:49 to 25:57, and Zakk Ellingson ran 27:06 to round the IHCC scoring.

William Penn nipped Indian Hills by one point for 7th place.

Saturday's results left Indian Hills coach Jim Streeby looking forward to the next action this Saturday in Grinnell. "Next week is a large meet with many schools taking part in the Les Duke Invitational," said Streeby. "We will get to run a great course and will try to get a little better every day."
