The Iowa Track Coaches Association released their preseason cross country individual rankings on Monday, which featured a pair of Pella Christian juniors.

A year after taking 31st in the Girls Class 2A State Meet in Fort Dodge, Bailey Vos enters the fall ranked #16 in the class. Vos comes into the season looking to reach State for the third time in her high school career, making it as an individual last year and with the girls team in 2022. For the Pella Christian boys, Sawyer Meinders checks into the rankings at #24, after taking 43rd in Fort Dodge last fall. Meinders helped lead the Pella Christian boys squad to their third consecutive State Meet appearance last season, where they took 14th place as a team.

Vos, Meinders, and the Eagles open the season on August 29th at the Marshalltown Early Bird Meet.
