By Mariah LewisOn October 3, the Interstate 35 Cross Country team loaded up the buses, gathered all the necessary items like water bottles and running shoes, and headed out to Nodaway Valley for the sixth meet of the season. This trip, though very ordinary and stereotypical for a cross country meet, was one of special meaning for the upper classmen team members.
The Greenfield course holds a lot of memories for the Roadrunners. Two years ago, it was the
site of districts. It was also on this course last year that our women’s team rallied together to pull out a first place ranking at the Pride of Iowa Conference meet. The weather was awful. It was freezing cold and pouring a monsoon. The managers had to camp out underneath the tent of another team simply to keep the time sheets dry enough 
to be considered legible. Despite these obstacles the Interstate 35 women’s team pulled through. They raced with heart and gave everything they had. The mood of that day was incredible. The entire team was exhausted but thrilled beyond measure. The moral was soaring off the charts as the Roadrunners cantered back to the bus singing and cheering all the way.
The recent Nodaway Valley Invitational was a trip down memory lane for our Roadrunners. They pulled through yet again with senior Maddie Beeler charging in eighth place. For the Cross Country Roadrunners, this meet was a great success as well as a sweet taste of nostalgia.
