The Valders Vikings boys’ and girls’ teams will compete today at the WIAA State Cross Country meet at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids. Both teams placed second at last week’s Division Three sectional meet in Manitowoc to qualify.

Meanwhile, several girls’ runners are looking to bring home a medal. Manitowoc Lincoln junior Natalie Portmann and Ships sophomore Norah Free run in Division One; Two Rivers sophomore Ali Gallagher is part of the Division Two field; and sophomore Julianna Doerner of Mishicot runs in Division Three following her runner-up finish to Kewaunee senior Hannah Miller last week at sectionals.

Match time is scheduled for 7 p.m. Other sectional finals include, in Division One, Kimberly hosting West De Pere, and, in Division Two, Luxemburg-Casco taking on Xavier of Appleton at Seymour.
