VIKING ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (WEEK of SEPTEMBER 14th)
Swan Valley Athletics is honoring 4 Viking Athletes of the Week from last week. Congratulations to Noah Smith (Varsity Boys Soccer), Jadyn Hartley (Varsity Volleyball), Isabella Looby (Freshman Volleyball), and Poppy Weyand (JV Volleyball) for earning this prestigious award!
Here is what her coaches had to say about them fulfilling one or more of the Viking Athletic Core Values:
"This is Noah's senior season for the soccer team. Senior year means leaving it all out on the field, and Noah continues to do just that for each training and game. Prior seasons, Noah played on the offensive end, but this season he has embraced a defensive role for the team. He is a leader in the back for us and his commitment to his teammates shows every time he steps on the field."
"Jadyn brings everything a coach wants to a team. She is always 100% in, a positive but also constructive teammate, respectful and respected. Her flashlight shines bright on her teammates! Any coach would love a Jadyn on their team!"
"Bella is a true team player! She is always encouraging her teammates, working hard on and off the court, and is showing so much improvement each week. I am proud to have her on our team this year! "
"Poppy is one of our leaders on the court and consistently leads by example. She brings positive energy, encourages her teammates, stays composed during challenging moments, and helps create a supportive and confident team environment. Her leadership, dedication, and positive attitude make a meaningful impact both on and off the court."
Viking Pride!
Landen Whelton and Eli Anders had the two goals.
Today the team travels to Frankenmuth for a 4:30 game. Our girls volleyball team also travels today to play Muth at 6:30. Come on out today to support two great teams.

The Vikings traveled down to Uncle John’s Cider Mill to take on the Large School division of the race. The division was headlined by Dewitt (Top 25 in D2), Okemos, and Holt (Both D1). Both teams battled through rugged and bumpy conditions to secure 4th place on the boys side and 6th for the girls.
The boys were led by Freshman Connor Charboneau who placed 2nd with a new PR of 16:53. Other PRs in the race include Lucas Kench (20:16), Jacob Vasquez (34:32), and Seth Blankenship (38:26). Connor Charboneau, Spencer Dammann, and Vaughn Trombley were all medalists.
Aubrey Hare led the charge for the girls, crossing the line in 9th place in 21:15. PRs from the girls race include Alexis Unger (25:14), Shelby Mercer (27:38), Krislyn Thomas (27:41), and Rylie Nachtweih (29:10).
We’re back in action tomorrow morning at the MSU Spartan Invite at Forest Akers East Golf Course. Boys run at 10:10 and the girls at 10:40.
