UNION CITY - For a half-decade now, the Union City Invitational has belonged to the Patriots.
Jay County High School's win Saturday in the girls cross country race came by the slimmest of margins, 48-49 over Tri in the five-team event. It was the team's fifth consecutive win at the invitational.
Junior Leah Wellman led the Patriots with a time of 21 minutes, 5 seconds for fourth place. Katie Simmons was just seven seconds behind her in fifth.
Aly Miller placed 10th in 22:09 despite losing a shoe just 800 meters into the race and running the last 2.5 miles with just one shoe. Liz Lennartz came through in 14th place in 22:38, and Logan Laux was 15th with a time of 22:41.
Tevan Nichols matched Wellman's effort as he placed fourth in the boys race in 17:42. Dylan Cope was 17th at 18:54 ahead of Kyle Scott (35th - 21:42) and Zach Johnson (42nd - 23:52).
