ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Cameron Baker (Soccer) and Tierney Hartman (Cross Country)
Cam is playing a different position this year and has stepped up his game. He is part of an impressive back line that has only given up one goal or less in 7 of 10 games this year. Cam also scored two goals in the JV game earlier this month.
Last week, Tierney placed 3rd at the Beal City Invitational, leading the Lady Vikes to an invitational championship!
