It was hot, humid and hilly.

But Carter Briggs and Cody Peterson paid it no mind. Neither did Zach Reuter, Anni Skillicorn or Emily Carrie.

Those five Winhawks finished in the top 10 of their respective races as the Winhawks fared well at the rescheduled Mayo Invite on Tuesday at Eastwood Golf Course in Rochester, Minn.

Briggs and Peterson set a torrid pace in the boys race, and ended up finishing second and third overall. Briggs finished in 16:59.1, while Peterson finished in 17:02.3.
Reuter fought his way to a 10th-place finish in 18:08.7.

The girls lowest sticks were Skillicorn and Carrie again, both garnering top 10 finishes in fourth and ninth places. Skillicorn finished in 21:17.0, while Carrie finished in 22:00.1.
Olivia Becker (23:03.6) ran to a 19th place finish followed by scorers Carol Miller (30th, 24:18.7) and Julia Kronebusch (36th, 25:08.5). The team scores put Winona in fourth place out of seven teams.
