Pella Christian gets one final tune-up today before next week’s district cross country meet, as the Eagles run at Chariton. Along with the host team, Albia, Centerville, Pleasantville, Lynville-Sully and the Eddyville boys teams will also be running at the small meet, among other schools. Pella Christian Coach Jocilyn Meinders says her team enjoys running at the Chariton course and says tomorrow’s meet should be fun for both squads.

“That’s a fun one. It’s a really nice course – it’s beautiful out there, so the kids like to go out there; and we usually do really well,” said Meinders.

The Eagles’ cross country meet at Chariton begins at 4:30 p.m. today.
