It was quite the week for both the boys and girls Garner-Hayfield-Ventura cross country teams.  The boys won the Top of Iowa East Division Conference meet, with a one-two finish by Reece Smith and Ray Cataldo.  Although the girls team didn’t place high, GHV’s Abby Christians won her first race of the season.  The teams also ran at the Forest City Meet, where the boys placed second and the girls took fifth place.
