Moffat County hosted its home invitational Saturday at Loudy-Simpson Park in Craig where nine schools including Steamboat Springs and Soroco competed.

While the Rams were unable to field enough runners to count toward a team score, the Sailors placed third overall in the girls race and fifth in the boys. 

Steamboat’s Grace Olexa was the top performer for the Sailors, placing eighth on a 22 minute, 8.4 second time. Novella Light was not far behind in 13th.
