After a lengthy absence from the competitive courses, the Van Meter boys cross country team was back at it as they took on the Tiger Invitational in Adel Monday, Sept. 21. Among a 10 team field that included three ranked foes in North Polk (third in Class 3A), Des Moines Christian (eighth in Class 2A) and the host Tigers (10th in Class 3A), a depleted Van Meter placed fifth overall. Making that placement possible, four runners clocked in top-40 times for the meet.
