Spencer, Ia (KICD) – It has been a strong summer and start to the season for the Spencer Cross Country teams. Both the Girls and boys claimed conference titles in 2022. Peyton Morey is the top returner for the Girls team, and she put in a lot of miles over the summer, even with a big vacation in July.

Van Munson is the top returner for the Boys team, he was putting up high volume per week this summer in preparation for the season.

1st year head coach Drew Schiltz is really happy with what he has seen over camp and the first few weeks of practice this season.

Munson believes that the Tigers can take home the Lakes Conference title again in 2023.

Schiltz also believes Spencer should repeat as Lakes Champions, and the girls will have a battle at the top.

Morey has seen a lot of good things from her teammates in the early going.

The Tiger Cross Country Runners open up their season at home. I will have the coverage of that meet through social media at my twitter account @cutler4steven and the KICD Sports account @KICDSports. You can hear more local sports conversation on the KICD Sports Beacon on KICDam.com.
