The SVMS Cross Country team traveled to Shepherd Tuesday night for the last Tri-Valley Red meet of the year and they scored very well. Twenty-eight Vikings set personal records, beating the previous record of PR’s in one night by ten kids. Great job Vikings!!! Emma Beckman, Sydney Beemer, Stella Frantz, Maeva Sobol, and Ryelle Thompson were all honored for their All Conference status and Addison Ball was first team All-Conference, being the only sixth grader in that elite group. The future looks very bright for our SVMS Cross Country Team. The teams wrap up their season next week with the All Tri Valley Meet and Saginaw County meet, both at Birch Run’s Taymouth Township Park.
