Vasya Strohbehn competes in the front of the pack early on in the South Hardin Invitational.

The Gladbrook-Reinbeck Cross Country teams had a two meets this week. First, on Tuesday, the Rebels traveled to Jesup for a 32 team invitational. And on Saturday, the teams traveled to Eldora for the South Hardin Invitational at the Pine Lake Golf Course. Both meets presented their unique challenges, as Jesup was a very large meet and South Hardin offers one of the more challenging cross country courses in the area. The Rebel competed strong in both meets, as most of the runners bested times and places from a year ago.
