Iowa Mennonite School will host its IMS early bird cross country meet today for many schools around the area.

The meet will host 16 teams, including Washington, Highland, Lone Tree, WMU, Keota and the host school IMS, and will run four different races, starting with JV.

Demon head cross country coach Steve Roth said this is a good first meet to be at, and that he has some kids that should be ready for a great start.

“This is the first time we have ever gone to this meet, I got into this year, just because I thought we needed an early meet, run a couple times a week and get some races in. Coach Tschantz and I are excited to see what’s going on,” Roth said.

The IMS early bird meet will be at the IMS campus tonight starting at 5 P.M.
