State Farm General Insurance Company, Bloomington, IL
A junior at Siuslaw High School, Reavis was the epitome of a prep student athlete. In the fall he was a
multiple threat on the gridiron at tight end and defensive end, as well as a more than capable backup quar-
terback and a punter. Coaches in the Far West League recognized him with multiple awards, one as the All
League 1st team tight end, the other as the 2nd team All Far West punter. Reavis also was recognized in the
4A ranks across the state with Honorable Mention as a tight end. In the winter, Reavis played center on a
greatly improved Viking basketball team that exceeded expectations with a second place fi nish in the Far
West League. Once again, he earned recognition from coaches in the league who voted him to the 1st team
All League squad. In the spring time is where Trent excelled. He set school records in two events and was
just a half-inch off a third. Reavis was Far West District Champion in the Shot Put and fi nished fourth at
the State 4A meet. In the discus he also won the Far West meet aft er setting the school record of 160-feet,
2-inches earlier in the season. He fi nished 12th at the State meet in that event. Th e javelin was his third
event. He was second at the Far West meet, then went on to set a massive personal best and a new school
record of 181-feet, 11-inches to fi nish second at the State meet despite injuring his throwing hand the day
before in the discus competition. As a junior, Reavis says he is looking forward to returning to compete in
all three sports for the Vikings next year.

Heidi Jones
Th e senior at Siuslaw High School capped a distance running career at Siuslaw High School in which she
never fi nished below fourth place at the State 4A Cross Country Meet. Th at’s a meet she won twice, a feat
that has rarely, if ever, been accomplished. Mans won her second straight state meet in the fall aft er winning
her second straight Far West League District meet the week before. Despite battling a persistent injury, she
went on to bring home three fi rst place medals from the Far West District Track and Field meet in May,
winning the 1500 and 3000 meters as well as running one leg of the district champion 4-by-400 meter relay
team. Because of that injury, she didn’t run the 1500 or the relay at the state meet and in spite of only being
able to train one day over the last two weeks of the season fi nished fourth in the 3000 meters at the state
meet. Mans has already signed a National Letter of Intent to run Cross Country and Track and Field at the
University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho next year where she plans on beginning her studies for an eventual
medical career.
