The Roy Griak Invitational

Each year many of the top teams in the United States, in all divisions, gather in Minneapolis, MN for the Roy Griak Invitational. It is one of the largest cross country competitions of it's kind and often features some of the very best runners. Augustana's Men and Women captured third place at the meet. I'm including some video of the trip. Hope you enjoy. Go Vikings!

Both men and women's squads had a chance to do some racing in Vermillion over the weekend. The Don Baker is the first opportunity to race for the year and we brought limited squads on both sides.
