Rain, rain — stay away!

At least that’s what area cross country teams have been hoping for after several competitions have been cancelled due to weather this fall. On Monday, the No. 5 in 3A Lady Dutch and the Pella boys will be hoping to dodge raindrops at Norwalk, coming off of a big showing at Williamsburg in a make-up last week. Meanwhile, the Eagles runners will join several area teams in Centerville Tuesday. Pella Christian hasn’t raced since September 20th at Moravia.
