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!

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!
