SALT LAKE CITY — Nearly 2,000 high school cross country runners converged on Soldier Hollow on Friday afternoon for the Wasatch Invitational.
There were two sections on Friday, with a boys and girls varsity and JV race in each section. There are two additional waves of races on Saturday as tournament organizers had to adhere to a cap of less than 1,000 people on the course at a time — which meant no spectators to cheer on the runners beside their own teammates.
In the Section 1 race, Westlake’s boys and Layton’s girls finished first, while in Section 2 it was Orem’s boys and Springville’s girls that took top honors.
Here’s a look at the top team and individual finishers from Friday’s varsity races:
