What was already a light sports schedule at Greene County High School, became even lighter on Tuesday when the Dallas Center-Grimes cross-country meet was cancelled. DC-G Activities Director Steve Watson said the course was simply too wet to hold a meet. He added he can’t remember when it’s been this wet at this time of year. The DC-G meet will not be made up. Coach Kelly Simpson’s Greene County girls and boys were to have run at DC-G, so with the cancellation, the next meet on the Rams’ schedule is their own invitational in Jefferson on the high school grounds on Thursday, Sept. 11.
