FULLERTON, Calif. --- On the eve of tomorrow PacWest Conference Cross Country Championships some members of the Biola Cross Country program had the chance to be showcased at the CSU Fullerton Titan Invitational.
Head Coach
Sean Henning sent a small group of runners to nearby Fullerton to compete in a men's 8k and women's 5k in order to get one extra meet in.
"For three of them, this was their first race of the season," said Henning. "We also have three members of our team racing unattached, so it was great to see them finish up their season at this meet. I saw great effort and competitiveness. It's be great for them to see where they are at on a quick course nearing the end of their seasons."

Omar Ledezma and
Chris Campbell represented the Eagles on the men's side, while
