Greetings, Champlin Park Wrestling Families โค๏ธ
We had a quick preseason meeting tonight to talk about the upcoming 2026โ27 wrestling season, and we wanted to share something important with our wrestling family.
Coach Galloway unfortunately shared with us that he has been diagnosed with cancer. The good news is that it was caught early, and he will be having surgery soon. While we are hopeful for a smooth surgery and recovery, we simply donโt know yet what this season will look like for him or how much time he may need away from the team.
Coach wanted everyone to know what is going on and also wanted to open the door for any questions or concerns. As you can imagine, this is a lot for him and his family to navigate, but one thing is certain โ he does not have to go through it alone.
Coach has already put together an incredible coaching support system and booster club that is ready to step in and help wherever needed throughout the season. Our wrestlers will continue to have the leadership, coaching, support, and opportunities they deserve while Coach focuses on getting healthy.
More information about the season, as well as updates on Coach Gallowayโs surgery and recovery, will be shared as we know more. Please keep an eye on Remind and our social media pages for updates.
Most importantly, letโs rally around Coach Galloway and his family. Wrestling is about so much more than what happens on the mat. We are a family, and this is one of those times when we come together, support one another, and show what the Champlin Park wrestling community is all about.
Please keep Coach Galloway and his family in your thoughts as he heads into surgery and begins this journey. Weโre all looking forward to seeing him back where he belongs โ on the mat with his wrestlers. ๐๐คผโโ๏ธ
Thank you for all of your support, understanding, and love for our wrestling family.
