Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Tigers cross country teams are continuing on with their preseason practices with their first run of the season to be happening on Saturday, September 3rd in Pella. Both Tiger teams were apart of the first rankings through iowarunjumpthrow.com, as the boys team was ranked 10th in 3A and the girls ranked 18th.

Both teams will have many key contributors back from a year ago, as both teams have established stars and talent that will be looking to prove itself on the varsity level for the first time.

The Raccoon River Conference is well represented in the rankings, with the boys side having North Polk, Carlisle, Gilbert, and Winterset all breaking the top 20 with the Comets number 2. On the girls side, Ballard is number 2 with Gilbert, Carlisle, and North Polk all in the top 10 preseason 3A.

Individual rankings will come out in the near future, but for the ADM teams, they’ll appreciate the respect while at the same time try to find improvement and climb the rankings throughout the year as well.
