The Hopi boys cross-country team displayed its depth during the Holbrook Invitational on Friday afternoon.
The Bruins took top honors at the 15-team meet by placing five runners in the top 13 headed by sophomore Kylen Antone, who placed third with a time of 16:46.4.
The Bruins also received a 6-7 finish from juniors Alde Kewanwytewa (17:17.7) and Lyndon Lomayestewa (17:35.1). Rounding out the team score included an 11th place effort from junior Duron Honletstewa (17:56.6) and a 13th place showing from senior Wayne Poley (18:00.9).
Hopi also had seniors Devin Kuwanvama (18:07.7) and Andres Thayer (18:26.0) come in 16th and 22nd, respectively.
“That’s pretty much our solid seven right there,” longtime Hopi coach Rick Baker said. “Some ran well, and some didn’t run well but we’re a strong team because our guys can rely on each other, and I think that is what happened today.”
