The Indianola boys and girls cross country teams travel to Urbandale today to compete in their second meet of the season, facing off against some of the top teams in the area. The Indians girls earned a 2nd place finish to begin their season at Dallas Center-Grimes earlier this week, while the Indians boys earned a 4th place finish. Head coach Kevin Barnes said his team has open spots on the varsity level that he hopes guys take advantage of.

“I would say in the last couple of years we’ve lost a little of the swagger we had as the Indianola cross country team, where we kind of have inter-team competition and that carries into our meets, and I think at times we’ve looked almost complacent. I’m hopeful and optimistic, and I really like working with these guys, and I’m really hoping we can get that tenacity back.”

Running begins at 8:30am.
