Coach Page looks to begin the 2008 season by building off a successful 2007 season. 2007 saw the Vikings boys place 6th at the state 4A meet while the girls finished 10th. With a large portion of the boys team returning and a solid core on the girls side, including state champions Joey Bywater and Brittany Aanstad, the Viking feel poised to make another run at a great 2008. In addition to his head coaching duties, Coach Page will be in charge of all jumps and hurdles for both the boys and girls teams. However, the hurdles are his primary focus having produced state placers and champions in both hurdle races. Jeff attended St. Johns University in Minnesota where he competed in the 800 meters.
