Wow! What a beautiful weekend we had for another amazing Portage Invitational.

The course record books got rewritten on Saturday. Whitehall's Robert Jazwinski III finished in 14:23 to set a new boys' course record, and Pioneer's Natasza Dudek finished in 16:38 to claim the girls' record.

Congratulations to every runner, coach, and team who made this year's race one to remember. A big thank you to our friends at PrimeTime Timing for capturing every moment of a day we won't soon forget.

Cross country runners cover hundreds of miles throughout the season before they ever step onto the starting line at the Portage Invite.

Every practice, every long run, and every workout builds toward race day.

That dedication is what makes cross-country athletes among the toughest competitors in sports.
