Siuslaw’s Maci Wells makes a leaping save against Douglas. Wells had 25 digs for the Viks.

“We lost to them earlier this
season and weren’t going to let
it happen again,” York said.
“This year, we really wanted
first place and first seed. By the
fourth set, I knew we were going
to get it done.”
A large factor in Siuslaw’s
advantage came from the team’s
ability to strike from just about
anywhere on the court, as well as
outstanding defense by junior
libero Maci Wells, who had 25
digs, and senior Brittany Long
with 19 digs and 19 assists.

Jensen, and junior Jordan
Northrop to round out the
team’s top five at the district
meet this Thursday.
For the girls, Siuslaw senior
Celie Mans was the first
female running across the
Brownies finish line for the
fourth consecutive year.
The run also included mid-
dle schoolers, with eighth
grader Brea Blankenship fin-
ishing first overall in 12 min-
utes, 38.3 seconds, followed
closely by seventh grader
Abby Watkins, also a senior,
had 8 digs to go with 13 assists.
Between setting from Long
and Watkins, the Vikings were
able to keep the Trojans off bal-
ance as Siuslaw got additional
scoring from freshman Mia
Collins, junior Emma Collins
and senior Claire Waggoner.
“We really played together as
a team this time against
Douglas,” said Siuslaw coach
Jon Hornung. “It was fun to sit
back and watch them take over
the match as a group, communi-
cating and working together.”
The win earned Siuslaw a bye
in the first round of state playoff
Rylee Colton (12:42.5).
Sam Ulrich, a sixth grader,
had the best time for the boys
middle school division at
12:54.4.
Thursday, the Vikings will
compete at the Far West
League district meet at
Tugman State Park. The varsi-
ty girls race is at 12:30 p.m.,
followed by the varsity boys
race.
Mapleton’s district meet
will be held Saturday, Oct. 29,
at Lane Community College in
Eugene.
Varsity girls race at 12:30
p.m.; the boys race will follow.
