A longtime Marshalltown School District employee has been tabbed as the new boy’s track and field coach. Bob Gilbertson is a 25-year veteran of the school district, who is also a technology specialist at Miller Middle School. Gilbertson’s background includes being a middle school coach and an assistant girls coach. Gilbertson takes over for Doug Bacon, who retired after 26 years with the district.

The district now has another coaching vacancy with the resignation of Derek Wrage as the Bobcat baseball coach. Wrage, who remains in the district as a teacher at Miller Middle Schoo, went 11 and 51 in two seasons with the Cats.
