Vikings Eclipse the Competition at the Bell Gardens Invitational

The Valencia Vikings cross country team traveled to El Dorado Park in Long Beach looking to eclipse the competition at the Bell Gardens Invitational this past weekend. Finding a mixed terrain course with thick, uneven grass sections interspersed with faster road sections, the team was anticipating tough competition and a chance for personal bests on the deceptively challenging course. With pleasant temperatures and a slight breeze for later races, the conditions were nearly ideal for the Vikings.
