Ely once again outshined other small-school competition at the second cross country meet of the fall.

The Ely boys were fourth in a 10-team field and the girls team placed fifth among the same number of teams at the Sept. 4 Titan Invitational, held at Eagle Ridge in Coleraine.

But only larger schools were in front of the Timberwolves in both events, and Ely set the pace for the Class A schools at the meet, held amid unseasonably cool early-September conditions, The Ely boys were led by sophomore Wyatt Devine, who took 14th in the 5,000 meter race around the golf course, finishing in 17:24.4, about 50 seconds behind the winner - Brainerd junior Jonathan Cowell.
