We had a great showing at the Hoya Invitational this weekend with many new runners and returning.
Pooja Kanyadan (Freshman) led the Girls Open pack with a 4th place win. Overall, Wheeler scored 4th as a team.
With new runner Morgan Yankowsky, Wheeler was awarded 2nd place overall. A freshman, Yankowsky came in 1st place of the Boys Open. We are thrilled that this new runner had such a successful showing.
