Petersburg High School wrestlers traveled to Ketchikan last weekend for the Bill Weiss Invitational, but only a handful of the squad made the trip.

Petersburg cross country girls ended their season last weekend with a fourth place finish at State in Anchorage. The Vikings also had good individual showings from Tucker Hagerman and Nathaniel Lenhard, and head coach Tom Thompson could not have asked for a better finish to the season. “Placing fourth at State was fantastic and we hope to do better next year even,” Thompson says. “I could write a book about how special every runner is.” The weather proved unfavorable with rain and some snow, making for a tough course. The girls were predict...

Petersburg cross country girls are heading back to State, after an exceptional meet and first place team finish at Regionals last weekend in Juneau. The boys squad finished in fourth place, and had a good showing, but just fell short of making a return trip to the State meet. The runners faced windy and rainy conditions which contributed a couple inches of mud in multiple spots on the course. Head coach Tom Thompson says cold temperatures affected some of the Viking runners, and the teams found... Full story
Viking wrestling started up Wednesday, although the majority of kids out for the team this season have already been getting in shape for weeks with preseason workouts. Head coach Dan van Swearingen says the goal for the first week of practice is getting the kids a little tougher and focused on wrestling. Petersburg is looking to build upon their 3A Regional championship from last year, but the drop in classification from 3A to 2A this year does not necessarily mean easier competition. And getting kids spread out in the right weight class can...
Petersburg cross country teams traveled to Ketchikan last weekend for their final regular season meet before the much anticipated Regionals in Juneau this weekend. The Vikings continued to clock lower times, and 12 of 17 runners ran Personal Record's (PR's). Head coach Tom Thompson was pleased with the excellent performance of his roster from top to bottom. Senior Maura Moyer was among the many runners setting PR's over the weekend. Junior Mariah Taylor set a PR by breaking the 24 minute mark...
Petersburg swim teams headed to the Ketchikan Invitational last weekend, and there were no signs of slowing down since their home meet in Petersburg.

And the girls team finished third in 1A/2A/3A/4A, finishing behind first place Juneau-Douglas and only...
Petersburg High School volleyball started this week, and over 35 girls will be participating for the Vikings. Last year, the volleyball team played as a 3A team, and this year they will be playing in the smaller 2A classification, but still face serious competition. Head coach Jaime Cabral says the girls were excited to start practice on Wednesday, and he believes his “scrappy” squad will be prepared and ready to play. The Vikings first junior varsity and varsity matches will be in Juneau against 4A Juneau-Douglas on Oct. 2 and 3. Cabral say...

After graduating over half the boys from a very successful 2014 campaign, Swim and Dive coach Andy Carlisle says his team is ready for the challenge of rebuilding. And last year’s accomplishments serve solely as motivation, not undue pressure or expectations. “It’s going well and the kids are stepping up pretty good,” he says. This year, there are six boys on the team and only four girls swimming for the Vikings, which is about average. Carlisle says he wishes more girls participated, but it’s normal to have a small turnout because they face a...
