From Creighton on Oct 1., the Wakefield girls (26 pts) and boys (30 pts) both finished third during the Creighton invite.
In the girls division, four medalists were led by Arianna Zarate (sixth - 22:01).
During boys action, Colt Johnson stole the show with a gold medal finish leading the field of 42 runners on the 5,000-meter course in a time of 17:07. Will Benson also earned a 13th place medal (18:42) as Giovanny Prado just missed the medal stand in 16th (18:53) by about a second.
