Iola High’s cross country camp is Monday through Thursday next week. It is for any boy or girl — freshman through senior class — planning to going out for cross country for IHS this fall.
“Even if they think they might want to try it, we want them to come to camp next week,” said Marv Smith, longtime IHS cross country and track coach.
The camp workouts are from 7 to 8:15 each evening at the Lake Bassola practice course. Lake Bassola is south of Iola and the team meets at the end of Bassett Street.
Smith said cross country workouts usually start right after July 4 but with the extreme heat, he waited later to get things started.
“It has been still 96 degrees at 9 p.m. The Bassola course has lots of shade and we’ll have water for the runners,” Smith said.
