Balanced Effort Lifts Northern Lebanon to Sweep of Pequea Valley

Cool, windy, and sunny conditions greeted the teams on Monday as Northern Lebanon hosted Pequea Valley in dual meet action, and the Vikings handled the elements just fine. Behind a deep, balanced effort across both the track and field events, Northern Lebanon came away with a sweep on its home oval.

The Vikings rolled to a 118-28 win in the girls meet and a 121-29 victory in the boys meet. With the sweep, both Northern Lebanon teams moved to 5-1 on the season.
