Coach Taylor and Coach Sigel have a unique perspective, having won State Championships at two different schools. Sean's wins are more impressive than Thom's. It is obvious that Thom can only win a State Championship at a "Rock" school, so he is a little more limited in his abilities.
I have a great deal of respect for Coach Taylor and Coach Sigel. They have always treated me as a coaching peer, and not all boys basketball coaches do that with girls coaches.
This is a complete list of all the record holders in each of the Galesburg High School sports.
Hats off to GHS AD, Nick Young for compiling this list- a job well-done.
Today’s “Streaks Alumni Profile” features Rita Tiehen Salit from the Galesburg HS Class of 1984.
Rita was one of the famous Tiehen family. If you grew up in the ‘70’s or ‘80’s, you probably knew one other Tiehens.
Rita was involved as a cheerleader, played both volleyball and basketball, and was in the National Honor Society.
Her interest in high school chemistry turned into career in chemistry and now as a teacher on the high school level.
My wife, Amy and I had the opportunity to meet up with Rita, Ann, and Laura Tiehen at the Galesburg vs. Loyola basketball game last winter in Chicago. It was so much fun to have lunch before the game and catch up on their lives and share lots of great memories.
I hope you enjoy this profile as much as I have. It was tough for Rita to find the time to do this between her teaching during the school year and her golfing in the summer- so thanks Rita!!!
