LBCC women\u2019s cross country did not qualify for the State Championship as they finished 21 out of 32 in the rankings in the 5k mile run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this was the same park and route as they had earlier on in the season at the SoCal Regional Preview, LBCC finished 15. The placement was six spots below the place they finished in the preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major blow to LBCC had to cope with was star sophomore runner Katlyn Morataya not being able to compete in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LBCC did have their other star sophomore runner Lorena Galaviz though, as she led the way for the Vikings in this race as she finished with a time of 22:05.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though that was the best time out of the LBCC runners for the race, she finished near the same time she had in the preview, and Glaviz hinted how physical health could have played a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been having a lot of bumps in the road physically. I went into it to give it my best effort. I was constantly reminding myself \u2018just stay calm, control what you can control, and take it step by step\u2019,\u201d Galaviz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
