Valencia Vikings Compete at the Bell-Jeff Invitational

The Valencia Vikings Cross Country team hit the challenging terrain of Griffith Park in the Bell Jeff Invitational this past weekend. The course started in the Merry-Go-Round area of the park and threw numerous challenges at the competitors as they toured above and through the old Zoo of Griffith Park. Thick grass with gopher holes challenged runners at the start and finish areas while plentiful hills, uneven asphalt, and poor footing challenged runners through the entire course. Cool weather temperatures made for ideal racing temperatures and the forecast rain held off for most of the event before letting loose on the Vikings final race.
