This is a big one. Jr.'s team hasn't lost an invitational during his middle school career. The only race they've lost in two years was last year's state championship. Today, the boys will be running on the shores of Lake Erie at a race they dominated last year. The weather should be perfect — 60 and sunny. No wind. I'm definitely no cross-country expert, but this seems like about as great a
