The South Tama Cross Country team will start their season on Thursday, August 27 at Marshalltown Community College Invitational.

The team returns the majority of the runners from last season including top performers Blake Keller, Hunter Filloon, Allison Yuska, Lauren Yuska, Isabelle Tyynismaa, Mahala Doyle, and Jensen Vodochodsky.

The Trojans appear to be trending upwards after taking a positive step forward in 2014. One highlight from last season was full sweep of the competition at the Montezuma Invite. They look to repeat that win again this season.

“We are looking forward to a great year! We have had a great summer and early season camp so the kids are ready to go. The competition for the top five on the girl’s side is outstanding and our first two boys should be a factor in every race they run. I cannot wait until next Thursday to see how well everyone has prepared,” said head coach George Kuhter.
