Lady Vikings finish an
‘amazing season’
From Coach Ryan Newberry: At the

After an amazing race the scores were
posted and we were only one point shy of
qualifying.
Marilyn Gallegos qualified as a Individual
for her third season in a row and will run
this Saturday at the State Finals.
These ladies had an amazing season. Make
sure to congratulate them when you see
them in school today.
Hailey Sisson

win and moved their season record to 5-4.
Craig Thompson
When I grow up ...
Craig became the 1st Freshman to
qualify for the State Cross Country meet as an individual in at least
20 years! Craig ran a 17:07 to place

team to an 11th place finish. As of

He was also All-Conference as a

Maggie Ring led the team with 7 kills, 4
aces and 14 digs.
Megan Watkins added 4 kills, 1 ace, and
7 digs.
Hannah Rukas chipped in with 14 digs.

commanding victory against Decatur,
serving, defending, and attacking
well.
The next two pool play matches
were against Saugatuck and

up short of the goal to advance to the
