Lindemulder Competes at Grinnell

Grinnell, IA -- Indian Hills Community College cross country coach Jim Streeby has four of his cross country athletes running in track meets this spring for what the coach calls “fun and a little speed work.”

Streeby says the focus is on running only distance events, from the 3000 meters up to 10,000 meters, and all four runners showed improvement at this past weekend’s Dick Young Classic in Grinnell.

In the women’s 5000 meters, freshman Sarah Lindemulder took 14 seconds off her time from the Central College meet earlier in the spring. Her time at Grinnell was 21:17.21.

There were a number of four-year schools from Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado in the Grinnell meet.
