Milford, Ia (KICD) – The Okoboji Boys Cross Country team will be looking to challenge for the Class 2A State Championship again this season, bringing back most of their scorers from a season ago.

That’s head coach of the Pioneer Harriers Brad Peter, who is excited about the competition within his team for Varsity spots.

Peter says the running is just the tip of the iceberg in Cross Country.

Okoboji is part of a Siouxland Conference that brings back a lot of talent from last year across the board and adds a northwest Iowa Cross Country Power in Unity Christian this year to the fold.

The Pioneers open up their season Thursday, August 24th at Spencer. I will bring you social media coverage from that meet, as well as Okoboji’s meet at Sioux Central. For more discussion on KICD area High School Sports, listen to the KICD Sports Beacon on KICDam.com.
