Athletic Excellence

The state’s two-time returning Gatorade Girls Track & Field Athlete of the Year, the 6-foot junior set a state record this winter in the triple jump. Galloway’s record-setting leap of 40 feet, 2.25 inches at the Music City High School Indoor Invitational ranked as the nation’s No. 7 mark among prep competitors during the 2020 indoor season. A five-time state champion, Galloway also owns the state outdoor triple-jump record of 40-7. She won the long jump and triple jump at the Class AAA Outdoor state meet as a freshman and sophomore, and she finished second in both events as an eighth-grader.

Academic Achievement

Galloway has maintained a 3.75 GPA in the classroom. She will begin her senior year of high school this fall.

Exemplary Character

Galloway has established her own track and field scholarship fund to annually benefit a graduating Graves County High athlete. She has volunteered locally as a youth track coach, and she has donated her time on behalf of multiple fundraising campaigns to benefit special-needs children and a women’s shelter.
