Track Highlights ....
The SVMS Boys track team got off on the right foot last night in a Quad meet at Freeland. The Vikings beat Frankenmuth 102-25. They beat Carrollton 84-44 and they lost to Freeland 63-70. There were a lot of highlights and we can't possibly list all of them. Please join athletic.net if you want to see all of the results. The Vikings relay teams did amazing, taking firsts in the 4x100M (Lemay, Rankin, Booth, Murphy), 4x200M (Murphy, Rankin, Habina,Charboneau), and 4x400M (Maxwell, Charboneau, Lemay,Habina). Keller Bedford took third in the 3200M run with a time of 13:30. Colten Ray took second in his first attempt ever in the shot put with a distance of 31'8.75". JJ Gomez and Fischer Stoney took first and second in the 200M hurdles while JJ also took second in the 55M hurdles. Many outstanding individual performances, but more importantly a great team performance and they will be hungry for more at next week's meet at Birch Run!!!............................................
The SVMS girls also had an awesome night! The Vikings beat Carrollton 102-18, and Frankenmuth 86-37, and came up short against Freeland. Win or lose, the girls gave it everything they had! The girls took 1st in the 4x100M relay (Rethman, Krantz, Hartley, Frantz) and 4x400M relay (Smith, Beckman, Krantz, Hartley). Stella Frantz took 1st in the 70M dash, and Alexis Smith took 1st in long jump. Rethman, Irvine, and Weyand finished 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in the 200M hurdles, Hartley took 3rd in the 200M dash, Bella Keyes-Rocha took 3rd in the 2 mile, Olivia Randall took 3rd in shot put, and Layla Smith took 3rd in high jump. We also had so many PRs for returning 8th graders, and some incredible effort by 7th and 8th grade newcomers.
Congratulations to Cam & Georgia ! They are this week's top Dawgs.
