CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Cleveland State cross country team will continue the 2012 season this weekend at the 32nd annual All-Ohio Championship. This year, the women's championship race will begin at 2:00 p.m., and the women's open race will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Elvin R. King Cross Country course on the Cedarville University campus.

Weather permitting, there will be a live webstream of the championship race available via the cross country schedule page on CSUvikings.com or by clicking HERE.

This will be the largest field that Cleveland State will be running in this season, as all of the Division I, II, III and NAIA schools from the state of Ohio are invited to participate. Teams are limited to having seven runners in the championship race, with all other runners able to compete in the open race.

Last season the Vikings placed eighth out of the Division I teams at the All-Ohio Championship, finishing ahead of Horizon League opponent Wright State.

This will be the second time that the Vikings will be running at the Elvin R. King Cross Country course this season, as they competed in the Friendship Invitational two weeks ago - also hosted by Cedarville University. Seven Vikings posted career-best times at the Friendship Invite, led by Tori Holt who ran a lifetime-best 19:18, marking the 14th fastest 5K time at CSU since 2005.
