What’s the toughest terrain cross country runners combat? The logical answer to this question would be large hills, twisting turns, or an abrasive landscape. This is not so according to the cross country Roadrunners. Supposedly the most challenging topographic aspect of a course is gradual inclines.
“Those gradual slopes are brutal!” said sophomore Holly McKinney who placed fifth at the Adel meet on September 19. The Roadrunners felt the intensity of their workout that day, with gradual slopes generously sprinkled throughout the Adel course.
Despite the presence of difficult obstacles at that meet the Roadrunners remained strong and even started multiplying!
The I-35 women’s cross country team increased in number with the addition of two participants. Junior Rachael Wiggins and Caylin Brommel ran their first race of the season at Adel. These ladies are both members of the I-35 volleyball team and had thus been unable to participate in meets before this one. Both contributed to their respective races and were beneficial to
the team.
It is safe to say that the Interstate 35 Cross Country team is having an excellent season when it gains members in the face of the meet with the most difficult course and the roughest terrain. When confronted with a challenge, the Roadrunners face it head on, and bring in the reserves!
