The Belen Jesuit boys' cross-country team is the King of the Hill after winning the King of the Hill Invitational at Tropical Park in Miami.

Belen bested a field of 22 high school teams from Miami Dade, Broward and Monroe counties.

Columbus was the runner-up with 43 points, and Palmer Trinity was third with 152 points.

Belen senior Adam Magoulas and sophomore Joshua Ruiz, who completed the 5K course in 15 minutes and 40 seconds and 16:01, respectively, led the Wolverines. Magoulas finished first and Ruiz second of 198 runners.

Belen will run at Spanish River Invitational Saturday in Boca Raton.
