Very thankful to finally be able to show off some impressive records. Thank you to VHS administration, Superintendency, School Board, Track parents who donated, and especially Trent and Becky Shaner for all the work to get this done!

The temp is 46, but there are some athletes BURNING up the track at the Blue Oval, including our Tigers. Thornton, Gbarjolo, Williams and Manuel run 59.81 in the Shuttle. That's currently the fastest time in the state and under the

Shout out to

and

for a great team race. We are grateful to have such great competition every year. Good luck to all CIML teams at State Qualifying next week!
Great showing by

in the

high school shot put. Takes 🥉 in a talented field and showed a ton of competitiveness and Tiger Toughness 🐯
Thank you to all of our wonderful parents, coaches and athletes at ALL levels for the hard work and support over the years that have helped these guys achieve their goals these last 2 years!
Great work from the throwers. Zach Shaner battled back from a knee injury to qualify for shot and discus. Remy qualifies for both and places 2nd in shot with a throw of 59-7.
I guess that 3rd 400 heat was worth the wait. Jake Keller sets an
@vhstigers
record in the 400 with a 48.18! JJ Gass places 6th with a 49.02, 5th all-time at Valley. Great job by both of those seniors!
Today was supposed to be the Dr. Brooks-Valley Relays! The coaching staff is constantly thinking about our athletes, especially our seniors! You are a special group!

"Heck of a run" by the 4x200 may be an understatement. Shaner, Gass, Neu and Keller set the

with a 1:26.17. What a fun race to watch!
Great job by Tre Fugate and Urias Gbarjolo for their long jump performances. They place 2nd (22'2.5) and 7th (21'6.5) respectively for some HUGE team points! Tre finishes out his career as a place winner ALL FOUR YEARS at the state meet.
Congrats to ALL of our athletes on a great performance! 200 team points and a district title is a wonderful accomplishment...but we're more proud of the numerous personal and school records that fell tonight that showcased our hard work and determination. Still work to be done.
Last year at Valley High School we opened a brand new track, stands, press box, infield turf and storage garage. This year brand new video scoreboard! Thank you to our Administration, Superintendency, and School Board!
#ValleyProud
We want to recognize the effort and hard work put in by this group of seniors and juniors. Seasons best 8:03 for the 4x800 earns them an 8th place finish. Great job gentlemen and thank you seniors for 4 years of sweat and determination to get to this point

weekend with a 2nd place finish. Exciting race competing against some of the best in the state. Can't wait to see what the next few weeks holds for us and all other athletes in this great state!
Evan Armitage wanted to end his
@vhstigers
running career with a BANG! He places 6th in the 1600 with a GIANT PR of 4:27.61. Carter Owen also came through with a great race and places 11th in 4:32.68. These guys know how to ignore seeding and just compete as hard as they can
It comes with great sadness, that Coach Dave Cochran, former head boys track and field coach at VHS, has passed away. Coach Cochran coached the boys program to State Titles in 2003, 2006 and a State Runner-Up in 2002. Dave was an amazing coach, colleague, teacher, and friend.
