Boulder’s cross country meet — the Pat Patten Invitational on Saturday — will feature its own star runners in senior Lucas Wik and sophomore Calia Vaughn.

Wik has the sixth-fastest boys 5K in the 5A classification at 15 minutes and 0.20 seconds, which he ran at Liberty Bell on Sept. 13. His team, meanwhile, is only behind Niwot in MileSplit Colorado’s current team rankings. Wik, Toby Wong, Cooper Draves, Ulysses Paulsrud and Jack Rhodes have all run under 15:40 this season.

Boulder’s girls team, meanwhile, is ranked sixth in the state. Vaughn has the eighth-fastest girls 5K time in 5A this season at 17:26.50.
