Eleven athletes qualified for State Summer Games and this is the first year that the 'Mallows, as they are affectionately called by fans, also sent up a 4x100M Relay Team "The Mighty 'Mallows". Cannon Putnam, Cordell Spurgeon, Patrick Jones and RJ Hawkins finished 4th in this event.
The 'Mallows are currently taking a week off to recoup and then will start practice for Softball & Football Skills followed by Bowling in the Fall. For more information on how you can become a 'Mallow, please contact Janel Orgovanyi, Delegation Manager at 641-233-8295.
