Athletes of the Week Ending 1/10
The following students have been named Athletes of the Week ending Jan 10:
Flo Ajunwa '26 - Basketball - This season, Flo has led our team in multiple ways. On the court, her ability to pass and find her teammates, rebound at an elite level, and reliably score for our team night in and night out is the consistency that helps our group succeed. In a tough game against GA that featured multiple D1 commits, Flo stepped up big time and led the team with 17 points. Off the court, I have seen her take our younger players off to the side and offer guidance to the girls who will step into her shoes in the future. We are so grateful for Flo and all she does, and we can’t wait to see how that helps her as she continues into the next phase of her journey in life!
Asa Zimmerman '27 - Ice Hockey - Asa is an assistant captain and the heartbeat of the Blue Devils’ hockey team. He sets the tone at practice by being first into drills, helping teammates stay locked in, and bringing a physical presence on each and every shift. Asa anchors a young defensive core and is trusted in all situations, including top-line minutes, power plays, and penalty kills. This past week, he helped shut down EA in a 3-3 tie and added two assists against ANC, making a big impact from the blue line. Asa is arguably one of the best defenders in the IHL and is highly valuable to the continual growth of our hockey program. Amazing work, Asa!
Tristan Ferraro '26 - Wrestling - Tristan has been a steadfast leader for the Devils in his senior year. He has been selfless in his efforts to benefit the team, wrestling in multiple weight classes this season. He never complains and just gets the job done with a workman’s attitude. Last Friday in our Inter-AC opener against EA, the team was trailing 34-18, and we desperately needed a win from Tristan. In the early goings, the match was not heading in Tristan's favor. He was down 6-2 heading into the final period, and Tristan's determination went on full display for the entire gym. As a result, he was able to get two takedowns in the final minute en route to an exciting 8-7 comeback win. Tristan followed up that gritty win with a 3-0 performance the following day at the CFS invitational. We are so proud of you, Tristan!
Logan Conix '30 - Basketball - Logan has shown to be a great contributor on the MSG varsity and is always willing to help her teammates, putting them in the best possible position to succeed. She works hard in both games and practices, and her rebounding and passing have been very effective as a result. Keep up the good work, Logan!
Karina Egen '30 - Squash - Karina showcased an outstanding performance in a challenging match against GFS for the MSG varsity. She competed with high intensity, remained extremely coachable, and demonstrated impressive resilience. Despite an early setback, Karina battled back to win the final three games, finishing the match strong. Her performance exemplified perseverance and a true competitive spirit. Way to go, Karina!
Alexander Dequesne '31 - Squash - Alex demonstrated a strong performance against a hard-hitting opponent from PC for the MSB varsity squad. He consistently raised his effort level each game, competed with great focus, and played smart throughout the match. Alexander’s energy, discipline, and resilience were on full display and helped lead to a well-earned victory. Keep it up, Alexander!
