Competing against some of the best teams in the country, the Leopard cross country teams came away with great individual performances and gained valuable experience this past weekend at the UC Riverside Invitational.
Already opening the season in impressive fashion, both Leopard cross country teams took its talent to the Cal Lutheran Invitational and came away with great showings in a deep-talented field, Sept. 11 in Thousand Oaks.
In a strong performance at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference track and field championships, the University of La Verne men’s and women’s track teams put together a total team effort but came up short as they ran into a pumped up Claremont team that swept both the men’s and women’s team titles, Monday afternoon at Occidental College in Los Angeles.
With an 11th place finish at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Regional Cross Country Meet in McIver Park in Estacada, Ore., the University of La Verne men’s cross country ended its season Saturday.
All the hard work this season comes down to one race that will tell all. With that in mind, the Leopard cross country team lined up and let it all hang loose, leaving their mark at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships Saturday morning at La Mirada Park.
