Media Day for Greene County High School track & field was held yesterday in the multi-purpose room. Derek Merk is the girls’ head coach and Chad Morton is the head coach of the boys. The Rams had indoor competition last week inside the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls and both squads will be inside this Saturday in Storm Lake at the Siebens Center on the Buena Vista University campus.

Greene County belongs to the Heart of Iowa Activities Conference, which is widely known for having outstanding track & field. Coach Morton commented about seeing that type of competition. “It’s great because that gets us ready for conference and State. We’d much rather compete in a conference that is very competitive and pushes us to our limits than a conference that doesn’t push us and doesn’t have the athletes we see in the Heart of Iowa. That kind of competition will pay off for us in districts and State.”
