Galena junior high and high school athletes honored for conference, state qualifications
Summary
Coaches and the board recognized student athletes who placed in conference meets and qualified for state competition; coach Michael Ayers listed school records and placements for several athletes.
The Galena school board recognized junior-high and high-school track athletes who qualified for conference and state-level competition at the meeting.
Coach Michael Ayers told the board that several girls and boys earned all-conference honors under the conference scoring system and detailed individual performances: a freshman (listed in the record as Maa Sarat Solano) and senior relays for Zoe Blanc, Ella (who won the 800 and 1,600 at conference and recorded the program’s second-fastest conference 1,600), and boys including Miles Schumacher, Benny (second in the 3,200) and Andrew (who won the 1,600, anchored a winning 4x8 and carries several school records as a sophomore). Ayers said several athletes qualified for state meets and reported individual state placements.
Board members thanked coaches and invited athletes forward for photographs. The recognition required no board action; the presentation served as public acknowledgment of the athletes’ achievements.
