IOWA LAKES MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY RANKED 18TH AFTER FIRST WEEK

The Iowa Lakes Community College Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Teams participated in their first meet of the season on Saturday, August 29th in Council Bluffs.

The meet was the annual time trial meet, in which the Lakers compete against other community colleges and club teams from across the state.

The men earned a 6th place finish and a spot on the week one national rankings. 

Bart Zimmer led the Lakers with an overall finish of 29th place.  Brandon Minear was next at 48th place and Jason Vogel took 58th place.  In the fourth and fifth spot for the Lakers was Mitchel Sparks, at 62nd, and Brandon Mumm in 65th place. 

“The team performed very well at the time trial meet and it is a great honor to be nationally ranked,” said head coach Molly Struve.  “We still have to improve, but this is a great confidence builder and motivator for the team.  It proves that we can compete with other teams across the state and the nation.” 

The Lakers next competition is the Iowa Intercollegiate Meet, on Saturday, September 19th in Ames, Iowa.
