Reflecting on the team's performance, Director of Track and Field and Head Coach Marcus Carroll said, "It was great to see our team step up and score in multiple events at the SCC Finals. As the host, most of our coaching staff was occupied with operational duties and coached less than we typically do. It was great to see the maturity and preparation of our team at the biggest stage this week. We are looking forward to taking one of our largest groups in years to the SoCal Regional Prelims."

The Vikings will carry their momentum into the 3C2A SoCal Prelims at Saddleback College on Saturday, May 3. Stay tuned for more action as they compete for a spot in the state championships!
