The Galesburg High School girls track & field team got the most votes in from their fans this week and are the FM 95 Hometown Heroes of the Week with Advanced Plumbing and Mechanical in Monmouth, the Regional Office of Education, and Martin, your local John Deere dealer!

We will meet up with the team to present the Silver Streaks with a plaque in their honor for the trophy case, each of the team members will receive a Hometown Heroes t-shirt from Go Van Gogh’s, and the team now advances for a chance to win $1,000 for their high school’s athletic department when we wrap up the spring sports season!

The Silver Streaks left Thursday morning to head to Eastern Illinois University. They are competing in 9 events at the IHSA State Meet this weekend. We won’t be able to do the presentation with the team until sometime next week. Best wishes to the Silver Streaks at State!!
