Three MPA student athletes have been named Independent Metro Athletic Conference Athletes of the Month so far this year!
October was a strong month for MPA’s athletes. Senior Declan Dahlberg was recognized for cross country. During his season, he finished in second place in the State Cross Country meet, wrote his own column in MileSplit MN, received Academic All State Honors, and signed with the University of Minnesota’s Track and Field and Cross Country Teams.
Additionally in October, MPA junior Maia Kelly was named Athlete of the Month for her accomplishments in volleyball. Maia has been named the “Semper Fidelis Player of the Match” three times, was part of the MPA record-breaking volleyball team this year, and was named on the Independent Metro All-Conference list. She is currently playing on the MPA Girls Varsity Basketball Team.
Also on the MPA Girls Varsity Basketball Team, senior Abby Goodno was recently the Athlete of the Month in December. Abby is currently leading the team as captain, was the first player in MPA history to score 2000 career points, and averages 22 points per game–the same PPG average as Minnesota Timberwolves all-star Jimmy Butler.
Congratulations, Panthers! We are so proud of you!
