There is only one chance for local runners to compete over the course used for the CIF finals before the race itself, and that meet is the Sun Devil Invite, hosted by Mt. Carmel High School, held last Saturday at Morley Field.
In its 44th year, Sun Devil is the largest local event and one of the largest in the state. There are large and small school divisions with all races by grade level and gender.
Our top performer for the girls was Morgan Maske , who placed 9th out of 70 finishers in the D-2 Invite/Senior race with a time of 19:28 over the hilly three-mile course. In the girls’ Junior race, our top finisher was Carly DeVore in 19th, followed by Lily Humphrey (22nd), Maeson Everitt (24th), and Nadia Roos (38th).
Our top boy finisher was Vincent Russo in the boys’ Invite/S
