Gov. Mifflin sophomore Kaitlyn Highduch placed first Saturday morning in the PTXC 12.2 cross country race at Kutztown University.

Highduch covered the 3.1-mile course in 18:54.4, the only girl to run under 19 minutes. The event was called 12.2 because the 12th annual race was canceled last season due to the coronavirus pandemic.
