Iowa City West runners Jessie and Gabby Skopec are twins. And like many twins, these girls spend a whole lot of time together.
For four years, they’ve gotten up at the same time, gone to school together, often taken the same classes and run after school together as part of West’s cross country team.
That all changes next year. The Skopec sisters verbally committed to run cross country and track in college: Jessie at South Dakota, Gabby at Northern Iowa.
"It’ll be a little weird because we’ve been together so long," Gabby, the older twin, said.
