The Swan Valley boys middle school track team wrapped up an outstanding season with an impressive performance at the MegaStar Track Meet last night, competing against many of the top athletes and largest schools in Michigan.

The 4x800 relay team of Powell, Anders, Kench, and Charboneau continued their incredible season by finishing as runners-up while lowering their own school record by another six seconds. Their time of 8:51.07 capped off a remarkable year for the relay squad.

Lucas Powell earned a 6th-place medal in the 400-meter dash, running a personal-best 54.64. With that performance, Lucas moved into second place on the all-time school record list.

Lucas Kench was impressive as always, running the 800-meter in 2:14. Lucas broke the school record with Charboneau at the regional track meet, and currently sits at #2 all time in school history.

Connor Charboneau turned in another historic night on the track. In the mile, Connor broke his own school record by seven seconds, running 4:40 to earn a 2nd-place finish. He later added a 6th-place medal in the 3200-meter run, shattering his previous school record by 26 seconds with a huge personal best.

In the field events, Wesley Kemerer capped off an outstanding season in pole vault as the school record holder, while Alex Pike and Evan Owens represented Swan Valley well in high jump. Both athletes finished the season ranked among the top five jumpers in school history.

Congratulations to all of our athletes on an incredible season filled with hard work, personal bests, school records, and championship performances. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to coach such outstanding student-athletes.

VIKING ATHLETE OF THE WEEK (WEEK of May 25th...)

Swan Valley Athletics is honoring 2 additional Middle School Viking Athletes of the Week from last week. Congratulations to Arianna Mantalvanos (MS Girls Track) and Wesley Kemerer (MS Boys Track) for earning this prestigious award!

Here is what their coaches had to say about them fulfilling one or more of the Viking Athletic Core Values:

"Arianna has been dedicated and not complained once during this track season. This was her first year and she wasn’t really sure what events she wanted to do. She was a trooper in whatever event she was in to help the team and really shined at the long jump pit! She stayed and cheered on her teammates even when she was finished with her event! I am very proud of her hard work and dedication this season! "

"Congratulations to Wesley Kemerer on being named Viking Athlete of the Week! Just a month ago, Wesley decided to give pole vault a try for the very first time. Since then, he has put in the work every day, steadily improving with each practice and competition. Last week, everything came together as Wesley captured the Regional Championship title and broke the school record in the process. Wesley’s success is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and willingness to take on a new challenge. His determination and commitment to getting better every day make him a great example of what it means to be a Viking. Congratulations, Wesley!"

Viking Pride!
