Back-to-back

Creston boys win NV Invite, girls second

GREENFIELD — Nodaway Valley took the first two spots in the individual race of the Nodaway Valley Invite here Monday, but the Creston boys team did something it hadn’t done in head coach Pat Schlapia’s 23 years as coach of the team — winning the team title at the same meet in back-to-back years.

Creston beat out Nodaway Valley for the team title, 59-86. The Creston girls finished second behind Class 1A No. 1-ranked Griswold.

“Outstanding night for both squads,” Schlapia said. “Our boys won it last year, and that broke a drought from over 20 years, and it was just kind of like why not repeat? They had a total team effort with that. They were focused and very determined with that.”
