The Siuslaw Vikings boys and girls bowling teams won district championships last season, and seem poised to defend those titles and do well at state.

The Vikings boys are led by district champion Clay Kramer, while the Lady Vikings return district runner-up Faith Coday.

Siuslaw had one senior on the boys team that placed eighth at state; the girls had two seniors on a team that was sixth.

Members of last season's district championship teams included Kramer, Hayden Houlihan, Jayden Johnson, Kainunn Harrison, Dalton Stinger and Logan Teel for the boys, and Coday, Sequoya Bernard, Trista Torres, Brianna Tabor, Bailey Overton, Destiny Teel and Mengyu Pu for the girls.
