Boone High cross country may have their biggest task ahead of them as they take on the Invitational meet. Some of the highest ranked teams in the state are in this meet; Dowling Catholic, Des Moines Valley, Johnston, and Ankeny Centennial.
Senior leaders Derek Hahn and Sarah Heiller look to lead the Toreadors toward another fantastic meet. “There will be very competitive teams there and I'm excited to see how we compete against the larger schools,” Sarah says.
With five of the 12 teams in this meet ranked in the top 15 in the state on the boys side, sophomores Max Hyatt and Cody Frame look to continue to contribute hard work and having good times to help the team overall.
On the other hand, the girls look for help from their younger runners. Sophomore Hannah Eppert and Freshmen Ellen Castle are ready to put up good times to support the team and take on the daunting task of facing the big schools of 4A. first ranked Urbandale has been very consistent this year and Boone looks to have a good run against them.
This meet is great preparation for districts that are up and coming, a big meet like this is huge for Boone and they look to do great in one of the last meets before districts. The boys and girls will look to run hard and get up in placing alongside top ranked schools in the state.
