The Pleasantville Cross Country teams will look to build off of last year’s successes as they prepare for the 2019 campaign. The biggest goal for head coach Aaron Fichter will be for his runners to make as much improvement as they can during the three-month season. He says the boys team is pretty well set with a lot of returning talent, but the girls team will need to see more youth step up.

The Trojans enter their second year in the West Central Conference. Among the highlights on Pleasantville’s schedule are a home meet on September 16th and the West Central Conference meet on October 17th at Panorama High School. The Trojans open their season at the Iowa State University High School Invitational in Ames on August 29th.
