Iowa Mennonite School is hosting its Early Bird cross country meet tonight to open up the new season, and many KCII area schools are participating.

Washington, Highland, Lone Tree, Winfield-Mt. Union, WACO, and Keota will all be at tonight’s meet in Kalona.  None of those six teams have begun their seasons at this point, but if all the coaches feel the same way as Washington head coach Stefanie Haworth, they’re all pretty excited to get going and hope for some support.

“I just can’t wait to get the meet going- the season going,” Haworth said.  “If you have the chance to make it to a meet, that would be great to watch.”

Tonight’s meet is scheduled to start with the JV teams at 5:00, with the varsity meet to follow.
