Everyone knows that Rylee Dunkin is the undisputed leader of the Twin Cedars Cross Country Squad. The three time All-State runner is going for her fourth All-State this fall and is already ranked 9th in the latest Iowa Track Coaches Association class 1A preseason rankings. Dunkin will be followed by fellow senior Cheyanne Bruns, who was 12th at the State Qualifier last season and is focused on her own trip to Fort Dodge. Coach Theresa Davis tells KNIA/KRLS Sports hopes for another trip to Fort Dodge to go along with the softball squad this summer.

Davis: “We talked earlier this season and one of her goals is to make it as a senior. I think she has a lot of talent and drive and she works really hard.”

Along with Dunkin and Bruns, Jayden Weldon, and Annabel Lucky, a freshman. For the boys just two are out this fall but Davis hopes Noah Fee and Blake Micetich will find a baseline early and settle into some good times before the season is over. The Sabers first run is today at Collins/Maxwell.
