After difficulties getting meets in at Spring Lake State Park northwest of Grand Junction, the Jefferson Community Golf Course will be the location of Greene County one home cross-country meet in 2021. Even the day of the week has been changed. Jeff Lamoureux coaches the Rams and he told Raccoon Valley Radio the home meet with be at Jefferson Community Golf Course on Saturday, Sept. 11, which is the same day as the highly anticipated Iowa at Iowa State football game in Ames. The cross-country meet will be held in the morning, while the football game starts at 3:30 p.m.

The coach said either rain or wet grounds due to how low much of the course is in relation to the water table prompted the change. “The last four meets (covering three seasons) were cancelled due to being rained out or cancelled because of the conditions.” Many years ago the Rams held their home meet at the golf course in Jefferson, and it’s also been held on school grounds previously.
