The Vikings will be one of 25 teams competing at the Walt Disney World Classic this weekend, and one of three Ohio teams (Malone University and Cuyahoga Community College).

Through five races this season, eight Vikings have recorded personal-best times, including three sub 20-minute times. Tori Holt has paced CSU in all four races that she has competed in, while Ashley Lydic was Cleveland State's top finisher in the first race of the season.
