It was the start of the fall for the Sigourney cross country teams on Thursday when they traveled to Wildwood Park in Ottumwa for a meet hosted by Pekin. 

The boys and girls do not have enough for a team score, but Ellie Yates had the best Savage finish in 12th on the girls’ side with a 5K run of 22:15. Reanah Utterback tallied 38th out of 91 runners (24:17) and Addison Yates was 44th (24:46). The boys were led by Troy Klett placing 13th out of 89 clocking in at 18:02 and Dawson Meyer was 76th (24:49). 

The Savages get back at it on Tuesday when they host a meet at the Sigourney Golf and Country Club.
