Grantsville High School junior Porter Whitworth won the Class 3A boys’ state cross-country individual championship on Wednesday in Salt Lake City, beating his closest competitor by 8.5 seconds.
The title was Whitworth’s first after he finished third as a sophomore, and helped Grantsville finish third in the team standings. Whitworth won every race he entered this season except for the prestigious Bob Firman Invitational in Idaho, where he finished fourth.
