The Knoxville boys finished 2nd by two points to host Albia while the girls were 3rd at the Albia Invitational on Monday night. The girls had four medalists with Natalie Collins leading the way in 18th in a time of 24:18, Janie Maasdam was 19th in a time of 24:19, older sister Olivia was 22nd with a time of 24:48 and Faith Rozeboom in 23rd with a time of 24:50. Girls Coach Mikayla Splavec tells KNIA/KRLS Sports Collins and both of the Maasdams should have solid seasons with the goal of making the state meet.

Splavec:
“Natalie should have a great season, Olivia Maasdam had a great summer and so did her sister Janie. She looked good all summer. We have a goal of doing better than last year in the conference and get more than one girl to state, so we’ll see if they can run some fast times at districts.”

The boys placed three in the top ten led by Seth Walraven in 2nd place timing in at 17:49, with Kaden McGill in 6th in a time of 18:48 while Max Purvis was 9th with a time of 19:19. Knoxville heads to Grinnell next Tuesday for a meet.
