The Indianola boys cross country team will have plenty of experience returning from those who ran at Fort Dodge at the state meet last week, as all seven runners will be coming back next year. The squad featured juniors Reed Robbins, Keifer Barnes, and Paxton Bloom, sophomores Sam Appel, Isaiah Thomsen, and Owen Welling, in addition to freshman Jake Robidoux. Head coach Kevin Barnes tells KNIA Sports this youth movement started with the trio of juniors who made an immediate impact in their freshman seasons, and now the future is even brighter with even more younger athletes stepping up.
The Indians finished in 15th place at state.
