Even eight meets into the season, two weeks deep inside the postseason and the Glendale Community College men’s and women’s cross-country teams are still talking about making strong impressions and proving something to themselves.
Perhaps that’s just the calling card for a program with near unparalleled success over the last decade or maybe there’s something more to the rhetoric.
Both squads will take part in Friday morning’s California Community College Athletic Association Southern California Championships at Central Park in Santa Clarita.
The Vaqueros women get started at 11 a.m., while the men take their turn at noon.
“I think it’s a good thing to have experience having run here and that should help,” Vaqueros sophomore Elizabeth Nelson said. “We’re just looking to do our best and try to run as a team more than individuals. That’s been a problem for us and we’re working on getting better at that.”
Glendale finds itself on familiar terrain, as the Vaqueros will be running at Central Park for the third time season, having already participated at the Southern California Preview on Sept. 13 and then at the Mustang Challenge the following weekend.
