Outlook – The Vikings have gotten stronger at the end of the season putting them in position to contend for a trophy. Part of that is due to the return of Emma Ehrhardt who missed most of the season due to an injury. She has stepped up as the #2 runner in the last three meets. McKenzie Altmayer has been the #1 runner all of season. She should be in the top ten in this race. The split on their two through five pack the last week has been 25, 30, and then 60 seconds last week. The Vikings could be in the top five if that split is near 30 seconds. If the split is similar to last week’s, then they could finish outside the top ten.

Geneva High School is providing a free FAN BUS to transport students to/from the IHSA State Championship Cross Country meet on Saturday, November 7, 2015.
Dates and Times:
This is a great opportunity to cheer on the girls and to watch the most AMAZIING meet in the state. The energy of the state meet simply cannot be matched and must be witnessed in person to understand. We NEED at least 10 kids to sign up, otherwise the bus will be cancelled. This is a free service the school is offering, so lets make the most of the opportunity. This is for students only.
The Girls team finished in third place behind a second place individual finish by McKenzie Altmayer. The Boys team finished in seventh place.
Videos of the races are posted here. Overall results are on the Results page.
