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.
