A few KCII area cross country teams will be competing in the Winfield-Mount Union Invitational this evening.

The meet will take place at Twins Lake Golf Course in Winfield. KCII area schools competing in the meet include: Winfield-Mount Union, Lone Tree and WACO. Lone Tree cross country coach Caylon DeVaul says the meet today will include a single loop around the golf course, and it has been one of the Lions’ best meets in the recent past as far as time.

“Right at the end there is a really long hill you end up going down towards the finish.” DeVaul said, “I don’t know if it has something to do with that or a mental state that they know we have done well every year and it carries over. I don’t know what it is but I am really looking forward to some really good times.”

DeVaul says this meet will be a good tune up for next week’s conference meet at Mediapolis.
