Fun story... I'm standing in the finishing straight during the boys race waiting for runners to arrive and start talking with an elderly gentleman who asked me who I was cheering for. I tell him I had girls who raced but was looking forward to watching the end of the boys race. He says, "me, too. I'm cheering for Zuber." Turns out it was Zuber's great grandpa and it was the first cross country race he had been to. After the gator goes by and Zuber is coming towards us and pulling away from Merrick great grandpa steps several feet out onto the course and gives a great big "gooooo Zuber" and pumps his fists in the air as his great grandson runs by, then turns and hustles off toward the finish. It was cute.

Gilbert had 2 freshmen go sub-16 at the state meet

So, was Iowa City West scored as a team?

Or did they have to be counted as individuals (so that it doesn’t impact scoring of other teams)?

Team. They got crushed as expected. The new qualifying system benefits nobody.

2nd-4th Heartland teams are Iowa teams
