Most of the metro area鈥檚 top boys and girls cross country teams will be on hand Saturday morning for the first major meet of the high school season, the Cleveland Invitational.
The boys varsity race begins at 8 a.m., followed by the girls at 8:30 a.m.
Cleveland鈥檚 boys, last year鈥檚 Class 5A state champions, are hosting a field that also includes the 2025 Class 4A state champion, Albuquerque Academy.
Eldorado and Los Alamos, the 5A and 4A girls state champions from last November, are also in the field.
The meet will for the first time see the Rahmer sisters from Eldorado 鈥� Gianna, a junior and the three-time defending Class 5A state champion, and Isla, an eighth-grader 鈥� competing against each other at the high school level.
Moriarty is also entered in the meet, meaning last year鈥檚 4A individual girls champ, Carmen Dorsey-Spitz, may be running head-to-head against the Rahmers. So will Mariah Galbraith from Rio Rancho.
The Rams鈥� Alejandro Casaus may be the favorite to win a state title in November, and he, too, will be racing Saturday. 近距离内射合集 Vista, Los Alamos and La Cueva are all entered in the field as well.
