From Coach McMeekan:
Results from state:
Randal had a great race at state! With a muddy, cold, crowded course he raced smart. He looked good the whole race, gave it all in the race and finished with nothing left. He got a PR finishing with a time of 13:13 and 128th out of 199 runners. All of us can't believe how much Randal has improved from where he was 2 years ago! We can't wait to see what he does in high school!
Randal's state results are in! 🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️With a time of 13:13.10 he placed 128 out of 221 runners!🎉 #galvaproud #itsagreatdaytobeawildcat
Congratulations to Randal as he heads out to represent Galva Junior High at the IESA State Cross Country Meet! This is a video from the send off that we did yesterday for Randal! #Galvaproud #itsagreatdaytobeawildcat
Students learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin from Paula Jansen of the Henry County Farm Bureau Ag in the Classroom Program. Thank you for visiting us here at Galva Elementary and sharing your knowledge!

Washington D.C. 2024 Meeting Reminder for families that have not yet registered
Yesterday was a great finish to the regular cross country season! Harmonie Shull had a good race, beating her previous time on the course and finishing in 18:42. Layla Anderson cut 20 seconds off of her previous PR and ran a great race finishing in 17:22. Kiiryn Shull ran one of his best times, finishing in 15:13. He had a great first season and has his eyes on state next year. And Randal Engels ran a fantastic race finishing 14th overall, 5th in the individuals, which qualified him for State with a time of 13:41! I couldn't be more proud of all of these athletes and their handwork this season!
