Th e event was scheduled for 2022; how- gather to reminisce at reunion ever, with the pandemic keep- ing everyone isolated for a year, the class decided to hold the event a year earlier. Former Salemite Morris Cregger, an outstanding bas- ketball player for the high school and Roanoke College, recently served 41 alumni, their spouses and guests at the Roanoke Country Club on June 5. For years, Cregger was chairman of the Board of Trustees at the college, and the Cregger Center is named for him and his philanthropic work. Th e Wolverines of that year boasted a little more than 200 in the graduating class. Of that number, 93 are now deceased. Some could not be located. Others were unable to attend for personal reasons.

Glenvar fell behind early but rallied behind two Shepherd goals and one by Geddes. On Saturday night they hosted Appomattox and took a 2-1 win, with all the goals coming in the second half. Maddox Fisher took a pass from Geddes on the right side of the field and finished with a back post shot just 30 seconds into the second half. With 19 minutes left, Geddes scored from the left side of the field off a shot placed perfectly at the back post, giv- ing Glenvar at 2-0 edge. Appomattox answered right back with a goal of their own, but Glenvar was able to keep them off the scoreboard the rest of the game and claim the first ever region boys’ soccer title in school history. "I have no words for what these guys have been able to accomplish,” said Jones after the win. “I am The Glenvar boys' soccer team gathers with fans for a team picture after winning the Region 2C championship just so proud of the way they have battled this week, at Highlander Stadium Saturday night.

The deciding tally was actually an “own goal,” as Radford had a corner kick and the ball was kicked into the cage by a Highlander during a scramble in front of the cage. “We had some chances,” said Glenvar coach Jason Woods. “We had a ball that hit the cross bar and a few other chances to score.” With the win Radford advanced to the state tournament, where they defeated Virginia High in the semi- final Monday night. Radford was scheduled to play Clarke County in the championship game Wednesday. Glenvar finished with a 6-5-2 over- all record and will graduate three seniors. The Highlanders will return their entire starting attack. “We made it to the regional cham- pionship game, and that has to be considered a good season,” said Woods. “If we can find some help Left, Glenvar's Faron Wilson controls the ball in last week's region game with Radford.

The girls dropped a 5-0 decision to the Cavaliers while the boys lost, 2-0. With the losses the Salem teams saw their seasons come to an end in the semifinal round of the Region 4D tournament. It was a tough night for the Spartans, who couldn’t muster a goal over two games. “We played until the very last second,” said SHS girls’ coach Kayla Wood. “Each player for Salem played their hearts out to the end and did not accept defeat. We continued to attack and take shots.” The host Cavaliers went up 2-0 in the first half. After a few adjustments, Salem settled in and started winning more balls in the air but the Spartans were forced to defend 10 corner kicks in the game. Jefferson Forest outshot the Salem girls, 17-7. Salem finished with a record of 8-3-1 in Wood’s first year as head coach. “I love this team and the way they show up for each other,” said Wood. “We weren’t able to put the ball in the back of the net but the girls never quit.” The boys gave up an early goal and battled to the end before falling 2-0. Evin Lainez and Luis Geyne teamed up for Salem’s best opportunity to equal- ize but Evin’s shot went just outside the post.

However, they ran into a buzz saw at Rockbridge County on Friday, los- ing 19-1 to the host Wildcats. “I think we both faced a very strong opponent, but also hit some hurdles we faced all season,” said coach Maggi Pace. “The girls really gave it their all out effort against JF on Wednesday, so I’m not sure we had a lot left in the tank.

On Saturday Glenvar won a third state girls’ championship as the Highlanders ran away with the Class 2 outdoor track championship at James Madison University in Harrisonburg. Many of the same girls had already participated on the indoor track and swimming state championship teams in March. The swim team repeated as state champs from the 2020 season and the indoor team was sixth last year, but the outdoor team lost their season when the COVID pandemic hit just after the winter seasons. Glenvar’s last outdoor track season, in 2019, saw the girls in 15th and the boys in 22nd as Maggie Walker swept both team championships. This year, neither Maggie Walker nor a virus could keep the girls from winning the gold. Glenvar took control of the meet from the beginning as Sydney Loder took first place in the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 16.99. Loder also won the 300 hurdles in 48.76 and was third in the high jump. Carly Wilkes continued to add hardware to her trophy case with a few more state championships. She won the 800 in 2:18.83 and the 1,600 in 4:59.67. She also ran on the winning 4x400 relay team and now has collected 11 state champion medals in the span of Above are members of the Glenvar State champion girls' track team that stayed until the end of the meet.

They finished off the meet with a flourish, winning the last event of the day with a time of 4:13. Eller added to the scoring with a second place fin- ish in the 400 and an eighth place in the 800. Harris was fifth in the pole vault and third in the 400 and the girls 4x800 team of Molly McCroskey, Joann Kileen, Isabella Pope and Emma Pope took eighth. Glenvar finished with 76 points as a team, 26 ½ ahead of second place Strasburg. Maggie Walker is now in Class 3, but that wouldn’t have mattered as these Highlanders dominated the competition. “It’s been a long time coming for the girls’ outdoor team,” said Glenvar coach Neil Swanson. “This is the first time in Glenvar history that the girls have won an outdoor state championship. I couldn’t be more proud of how far they have come and everything they have put into it. It’s well deserved.” While the girls’ ran away with the title, the boys’ had a big day as well with a fourth place finish. Glenvar had 47 points to trail only Stuarts Draft(65), Bruton(57) and Staunton(49). Tyler Johnson had a big day with a state champi- onship in the 300 hurdles, running a time of 42.0 to win by a second and a half. Tyler was second in the 110 hurdles, just .27 seconds behind the winner with a time of 16.1. He also ran on the fifth place 4x400 relay team with Bryant Loftis, Nehemiah Olsen and Nate Linkous. Daniel Zearfoss was second in the 1,600 and eighth in the 800. Loftis was fourth in the 800, Avon Noel was sixth in the pole vault and Jackson Swanson was sixth in the 200 and seventh in the 100. The boys’ 4x800 relay team of Zearfoss, Brayden Claud, Olsen and Davis Norman was seventh. “This is the best showing the boys have had in the state meet since I started coaching here in 2007,” said Swanson. “It was a great day for both the girls and boys. We have a bulk of these young athletes return- ing next year and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them.” Highlanders' undefeated season ends one win shy of state fi nal The Glenvar boys came within one said first year Glenvar boys’ coach the half.
