It’s State Qualifying Meet day today for Class 2A cross-country programs in Iowa and Greene County makes the long trip to Iowa’s southwest corner for a meet in Shenandoah. The top three teams and top 15 individuals for girls and boys advance to the State Meet later this month north of Ft. Dodge at Lakeside Golf Course.
Noah Hinote has been the top runner for the Greene County boys and Olivia Shannon has led the girls throughout the season. Coach Jeff Lamoureux told Raccoon Valley Radio they’ll have to have a high level performance to qualify for State, but they are capable.
Des Moines Christian is in the field and the Lions are the top ranked 2A boys team in the state. The Van Meter girls at number three and DMC at number 7 are the highest ranked girls’ teams at Shenandoah. Race time is 4 p.m.
