Boys state XC roundup: Better-prepared GC/G-R boys earn top 10; Montoya improves in final HS race (PHOTOS)

FORT DODGE –  With a mixture of experience and first-timers at Lakeside Golf Course, the Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck boys cross country team earned 10th place in Class 2A at Saturday's state cross country meet in Fort Dodge.

GC/G-R scored 239 points, two points shy of Camanche in ninth place but 14 points clear of Western Christian in 11th.

"We were definitely better prepared than last year, mentally and physically," GC/G-R head coach Jackson Anderson said. "From the steps we took this morning, fine-tuning and setting goals and plans on the Monday before for what we needed to do on Saturday.

"It's a tough, crowded field and our guys got spread out a bit but overall, our top five guys did well."
