Nate Mueller is one of the best runners in class 3A in the state of Iowa, and he will be looking for a potential state championship with his name on it on Saturday in Fort Dodge. He’s currently ranked number one in the state of Iowa, but that ranking will be put on the line this week.

Mueller will be facing some excellent competition from all around the state. Quinton Orr out of Humboldt, Aiden Ramsey out of Dallas Center-Grimes, Brady Hogan out of Decorah, and Brandon Barker out of Clear Creek. All of these runners round out the top five runners from the state of Iowa, and all are contenders to be finish first in the state race come Saturday.

Mueller will have to get out of the gate quickly to avoid the pack, as he looks to bring home some hardware on Saturday.
