On Tuesday, October 7th, Eagle Grove Golf Course hosted the annual Dick Bell Invitational.
Ten other area middle school and high school cross country teams met on the notoriously hilly course for what turned into a gorgeous night for a cross country meet.
8th grader London Parrott won the middle school girls’ race with a personal best 2-mile time of 13:11. She set the pace from the beginning and lost a Garner-Hayfield-Ventura runner somewhere in the first mile.
The varsity guys had a healthy team and earned 7th place out of 11 teams with 181 total points. Forest City (33), Algona (79), and Webster City (104) were in the top-3, and Algona’s Gavin Weber ran a 16:24 to finish 1st out of 137 runners.
