Viking Track and Field Fared Well in Sweet Home
The Siuslaw Vikings dominated at the Sweet Home Track and Field Meet of Champions Saturday. The Viking boys claimed the team titles in a field of 34 schools in the 1A through 4A ranks. The Siuslaw girls competed well, coming away with 15th out of 32 teams. Distance Runner Clayton Wilson ran a PR to win the 3,000 meters in 8’ 38.58”. Kale Jenson won the title in the long jump with 20-ft, 10 ½ inches, and Will Johnson won the triple jump with another PR this week, winning it with 44 ft, 4 ½ inches. Wilson and Johnson’s marks placed them each at number three on the all-time Siuslaw bests. For the girls, Aidell Cadet recorded PRs in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing fifth in 16.57 seconds, and in the 300 intermediate hurdles, she was eighth at 49.05 seconds.
Siuslaw Baseball and Softball Dropped Two Each
It was a rough weekend on the diamond if you were a Siuslaw Viking or an Oregon State Beaver. In Winston Friday, the Viking softballers fell in both halves of a double header to the Douglas Trojans, falling to the Trojans 17-1 and 18-3. The results were similar for the boys on the baseball diamond, lowing 14-0 and 10-zip.
Ducks Dammed the Beavers
The Oregon Ducks got out the brooms at PK Park in Eugene for a three-game sweep of the Oregon State Beaver baseball squad. The Ducks beat the Beavers 4-2 Friday evening then pounced on the Beavers defense Saturday coming away with a 13-1 drubbing. It came down to the wire yesterday afternoon but the Ducks held on for a 3-2 win for the program’s only series win over a top-3 team. The teams will meet a final time tomorrow in Corvallis with the first pitch at 5:35. That game will air on the Soundtrack of Our Lives, KCFM.
