“Try or Train” was the motto for Pella High cross country last year. This fall, the Little and Lady Dutch will simply “focus.” Head coach, Doug Cutler, says the term “focus” can apply to several different things. Cutler adds that there’s a time to focus on physical training, too. He hopes that it’s a very positive focus, even when it’s tempting to dwell on discouragement. Each runner will be coming up with one word that they will be focusing on this season, Cutler says, so the term “focus” will mean something different to each athlete. Pella High begins their cross country season this Thursday at Cedar Rapids Prairie. The most recent polls have the boys ranked fifth in the state in Class 3A with the girls at number six.
