Ankeny returns eight state qualifiers from last years team that placed 31st in the Class 4-A meet at Drake Stadium, but four of them are currently battling or still recovering from injuries.
Were really young, and were beat up a little bit, said Ankeny coach Dave Jones. Weve had some injuries that were dealing with, but well see how it goes. We might have a slow start to the season, but hopefully well get there at the end.
Among the teams returnees are seniors Ty Ash, Jordan Bauer, Logan Bredesky, Reid Ryan, Chris Schreck, Nathan Stahl and Ryan Wendt. Junior Drew Deiter is also back.

However, Deiter will be sidelined for at least two more weeks due to a broken leg.
