Back To Cedarville
The Vikings will be running on a familiar course Friday afternoon, as they ran on the same course just two weeks ago for the Friendship Invitational. The only difference between the two races will be the fact that Friday's race is a 6K compared to the Friendship Invitational that was only a 5K race.
Last Time Out…
Cleveland State captured its first-ever team title, placing first at the LHU Invitational. All five scorers for the Vikings placed in the top-25 individually, led by the trio of Karen Barrientos, Anna Brandt and Jessica Finley who placed sixth, seventh and eighth, respectively.

2017 Cleveland State Schedule
After Friday's All-Ohio Championship the Vikings will be more than halfway done with the 2017 season, as Cleveland State will have just four races left on the schedule. Friday's race will be the second straight 6K for the Vikings, and the second of four total 6K courses on the season.
