Fort Dodge, Ia. — Winterset's Evan Selsor and the Pella boys' cross country team were winners on different levels Saturday.

Selsor claimed an individual championship in the Class 3-A portion of the state cross country meet at Kennedy Park.

In the same 5K race, Pella's runners and head coach accepted the runner-up trophy proudly displaying a set of inspirational initials shaved into their heads.

Selsor, who placed sixth last year as a freshman, finished 16 seconds ahead of Algona's tandem of Chad Rutledge and Ryan McMahon, who repeated his third-place finish from last year and was the top returning place winner.
