Pedelty placed 40th in the Class 3A state cross country meet in a time of 17:00 in the 5-kilometer race.

"I came to the cross country camp at NIACC last summer and coach (Curtis Vais) taught me a lot of things," Pedelty said. "My brother also went to NIACC and he said it was a good school."

"Team chemistry will be great," Pedelty said.
