Standing 6-foot-2 tall and weighing in at 230, Turkey Valley’s Collin Kleppe is used to pushing defensive linemen around.

There’s a big difference in personalities between New Hampton cross country runners Dylan Usher and Natalie Nosbisch.
Nosbisch, a freshman, is quite shy and doesn’t do a lot of talking. Usher, on the other hand, discussed the Chickasaw’s first competition of the season at Mason City with the...
