The boys competition at the Westby-Reed Invitational quickly turned into a two-horse race. By the end, Vinny Sitkiewitz was all alone, setting a blistering pace. Sitkiewitz, a senior for Fort Atkinson, won his home invitational in a personal-record time of 15 minutes, 37.3 seconds on Thursday at FAHS. “What stands out with Vinny is the way he won the race,” Fort Atkinson cross country coach Spencer Agnew said. “We talked about going out a little more conservative, but he got out fast which is impressive on our course. “We ran a flat course last week so for Vinny to go out even faster today impressive. Vinny looked strong, in control and dominant.” McFarland junior Willard Heitzman was within five seconds of Sitkiewitz at the mile mark and still within 20 seconds at the two-mile mark. By the time they crossed the finish line, Heitzman took second in 16:49.7, just ahead of senior teammate Blake Doolan (16:51.2).
