Winter Sports

The Blue Streaks were on fire this winter! The gymnastics team had a State Champion for the second consecutive season as Keira Leneghan ’24 scored a 9.525 on the uneven parallel bars. Keira’s State Title matched the State Title that her mother, Meg Griffin Leneghan ’87, won in 1987 on the same event as a member of the Magnificat gymnastics team (see photo on inside front cover). Coach Liz Wojtkun ’02 was awarded this year’s OHSAA Gymnastics Sportsmanship, Ethics, and Integrity Award.

The bowling team won its first Sectional Championship in school history, and Mia Sayles ’23 closed out her Blue Streak career with a tie for 35th in the state. She is the first Magnificat bowler to qualify for the State Tournament and has signed to continue her athletic career at Wright State University in the fall.

The Indoor Track & Field team had eight State qualifiers this year in their various events: Megan White ’23 (Shot Put and Weight Throw), Madison Miller ’24 (High Jump), Mariella Mayer ’24 (4 x 800 Relay and 4 x 400 Relay), Kate Adler ’23 (4 x 800 Relay and 4 x 400 Relay), Mikaela Davala ’26 (4 x 800 Relay), Megan Martin ’26 (4 x 800 Relay), Brooklyn Ramos-Kelly ’24 (4 x 400 Relay), and Izzy Loeffler ’26 (4 x 400 Relay). The swimming and diving team sent Makenna Mincey ’24 to the State tournament! Lastly, the basketball team claimed its first District Championship since 2020, and Abby Rosol ’23 was named to the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Division I Academic All-Ohio team. Congratulations to the Blue Streaks on their impressive seasons!
