The postseason is right around the corner for area cross country teams and tonight is a tuneup for it in Columbus Junction when the Wildcats host a meet. 

The meet at Cedar Crest Golf Course also features area schools Highland, Winfield-Mt. Union, and WACO. Other teams competing include Cardinal, Holy Trinity, Louisa-Muscatine, Pekin, and Van Buren. The Columbus boys are the headliners out of area teams checking in at No. 17 in class 1A by the Iowa Track and Field Coaches Association poll. The team placed second at last week’s Southeast Iowa Super Conference meet with Freddy Vergara pacing the Wildcats in sixth. Vergara is ranked 19th in the individual poll.

The action begins at 4:30 p.m. this evening in Columbus Junction.
