MPA Panthers Qualify for State Cross Country Meet
On a very rainy day earlier this week, Megan Snider, Eddie Snider, and Ben Murr qualified to race at the State Cross Country Meet! Megan and Eddie were both Section Champions, with Megan setting a new school record by almost 15 seconds! Ben will run in his first Cross Country State Championship to cap off his senior year. The boys team also had a strong third-place finish. Congratulations to the entire team and their coaches, alums Declan Dahlberg and Ellie Quam, and Middle School science teacher Courtney Nagle. Go Panthers!
MPA Rowers Compete in Boston Boston At The Head of the Charles
MPA students David Steinberger and Andy Taylor competed in the world’s largest international regatta at the Head of the Charles in Boston, placing 22nd out of 47 teams in the Men’s Youth 4x+. The boys masterfully executed their race plan and went stroke for stroke against the best rowers in the world. This top-half placement secures an automatic bid next year at this world-renowned rowing race. Up next for MPA rowers is The Head of the Hooch in Tennessee, where Abby Appleton, David Steinberger, Andy Taylor, and Bella Carson will continue their dominance in representing the best of Minnesota rowing!
Come Cheer on Boys 5/6 Soccer
Under the skilled guidance of Coach Peterson, the MPA Boys 5/6 White Soccer team moved forward in this year’s playoffs by defeating the St. Jude of the Lake team 2-0 Wednesday night. The cool and soggy field conditions did not stop the fast offensives and the strong defense that our players showcased, cheered loudly by a group of MPA parents. The team will advance to the semi-final game on Friday night against St. Paul Academy at 5:50 PM at St. Odilia in Shoreview. The team would love to see lots of fellow Panthers cheering them on from the sidelines! Go Panthers!
