all the teams gather

Six teams joined Palm Springs for their Fourth Annual PSUSD Challenge, where the DVL Cross Country Finals will be held in November.

It turned out to be a pretty good day for running; a little warm, but not bad for the desert and certainly better than most of the past two weeks.

The girls' race was led from wire to wire by Palm Springs' Susana Salazar, leading a strong team that showed both talent and evidence of a solid summer's work in their season opener. Cathedral City showed promise, led by Senior Emily Keat, who shadowed Salazar throughout the race.

The boys' race was a closer fight, with Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs balanced teams putting them in first and second for the team races, despite Coachella Valley standouts Luis Rodriguez and Luis Pimental taking first and third place overall respectively.
