2015 Cross Country Preview
The Vikings look to start the season off on the right foot.
The Diablo Valley College men's and women's cross country teams both looked good in a recent scrimmage at Granite Regional Park in Sacramento.
On the men's side, Liberty High graduate Benjamin Bennett ran very well over 4 miles. Bennett, who placed third at last year's Bay Valley Athletic League cross country championship, is one of three impressive freshmen on the Vikings squad, along with international student Kin Wong and Deer Valley graduate Keith Lowry.
In the women's scrimmage, Katie Embody of Castro Valley looked strong over a 3.1-mile course. The powerful Vikings also boasts Ariana Corwin of Berleley, Katie's sister Alexandria Embody, and Cristina Fierro of Pittsburg.
The Vikings will open the season on Sept. 11 at Santa Rosa
