AMES — In their final Heart of Iowa Conference cross country meets, two Collins-Maxwell-Baxter seniors made the most out of their opportunities on Monday evening.
 

Running on her favorite course, Hayley Leonard finished seventh overall in the girls race, while Aaron Ward took 12th in the boys' to give the Raiders two all-conference runners. The Raider girls also took third overall behind conference champion Gilbert and second-place South Hamilton.
 

"We ran pretty much how I thought we would, and a medalist in each race is pretty good," CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. "I'm really happy with the girls team's performance taking third. With five ranked teams in there, we knew we could finish anywhere from second to sixth. It just so happens we ran third tonight and did a pretty good job."
