GRUNDY CENTER – Dr. Clay Edwards, who has taught math at Grundy Center Middle School for the last 11 years, was recently honored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) when he was appointed as the chairperson of the organization’s Math Teaching in Middle School editorial panel.
Edwards has served on the panel for the last two years, but he will be transitioning into his new leadership role for his third and final year of a three-year term.

   BOONE, GRUNDY CENTER – The Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck boys’ tennis team flew under the radar heading into last Thursday’s district meet in Boone.
   The Spartans have made their impact now, and are making an impressive splash under first-year coach Dale Boren.
   After taking second in the team standings at Boone, GCGR rallied for a 5-3 dual victory over North Polk in a preliminary substate match at Grundy Center last Saturday to stay alive in the team tournament despite not advancing any players to the singles/doubles state tournament.

The following athletes from AGWSR, BCLUW, Dike-New Hartford, Gladbrook-Reinbeck, Grundy Center were listed in the state's tentative state track and field meet qualifiers published on Friday afternoon. The 2017 Co-Ed State Track and Field Meet runs from May 18-20 at Drake Stadium in Des Moines. Check out the May 18 edition of The Grundy Register for more information leading up to the 3-day event.

Jake Bangasser never lets a bad swing or two get him down. Fresh off of a triple bogey on hole five of the back nine at a Class 1A sectional meet Friday afternoon, the Grundy Center junior took a deep breath, relaxed and played one over golf the rest of the way on his home course en route to a score of 81 and a team title that will allow the Spartans to advance to districts in Mason City.
