Greene County is in the field today for the West Central Valley Wildcats Cross-Country Invitational. It’s being held starting at 4:30 p.m. near Menlo at the 5 x 80 Golf Course. A number of rated teams and individuals, especially on the boys’ side, are scheduled to participate.

F0r Coach Kelly Simpson’s Rams, this is the second meet of the season. The girls were sixth among 11 teams and the boys last in a 13-team field last Thursday in Ames at the Gilbert Invitational. It was quite a large meet with more than 200 runners in each of the male and female races. A highlight for Greene County was two girls finishing in the top 20. Senior Olivia Hansen was 18th and freshman Bailey Cunningham finished 20th.

Greene County hosts their lone home meet next Thursday, Sept. 8 at Spring Lake State Park northwest of Grand Junction.
