Hopefully Iowa cross country fans listened to the @iatfcc Exchange Zone podcast with @Kwags00 that debuted for the season Sunday. Now, listen to my podcast with Kyle on @Spotify. We look at where the Class of 2025 have gone on to college and runners to watch in the Class of 2026.
Tomorrow is the day for the first rankings of the year!
*New this year will be “The Monday Move.” Individual and team rankings will release together at the start of each week!
Year #8 of the Exchange Zone begins next Sunday August 24th with a 2 EPISODE SEASON PREMIERE! We will look back at the historic 2025 state track & field with @MikeJaytrackxc at 6:30 PM. Our cross country coverage will kick off at normal time (8:00 PM). Find us on live stream on YouTube, X, and Facebook.
The Iowa Games could use some volunteers! If you are not competing please considering helping out. I’d shift times don’t work for you, contact the Iowa Games staff and we can make accommodations based on your schedule

I recently spent some time with Western Dubuque runner and Oregon commit Quentin Nauman. Nauman is one of the top distance runners in the nation and one of the best employees at his local Hy-Vee in Dubuque.

COLLEGE COACHES OF THE CENTURY!
#8. Matt Jones
He's only been the head coach at @LorasTrack for 13 seasons, but he's already delivered @LorasAthletics a handful of national titles. And he's a 5-time national coach of the year.

If you haven’t heard we have some staff additions coming this fall! We are excited for “Coach Wagner” to arrive in October! (Yes, great timing I know! 😅) But he will be here just in time to watch the Bluejays have a great postseason!
The cross country team is looking for managers for the upcoming fall season. Hours are eligible for Silver Cord. Anyone interested, please email [email protected].
