Ely scores sweep at the Falls

Ely’s high school cross country teams are heading into section competition on a very strong note.

The Timberwolves won both the girls and boys competitions Tuesday at International Falls, home of the Hial Pike Invitational, while junior Molly Brophy won the girls individual crown and sophomore Wyatt Devine was second among the boys.

Those performances came on the heels of solid outings for the Wolves at the Oct. 9 Iron Range Conference Championship, where three girls and seven boys won All-IRC honors.
