Former Blue Dukes Competing in College Athletics

Whitefish Bay athletes are used to success, which leads to many of them participating in college. Here is an update on some members of the Class of 2012 as they embark on college careers:

Freshman Lindsey Agnew played five games for the University of Calgary women’s basketball team. Her only 3-point attempt of the season led to her only points.

Also off to Canada is Anders Bjella, playing for the McGill University lacrosse team.  Full statistics were not available but he was credited with at least two goals during the season.

Freshman Brandon Threats runs track and field for DePaul University. He finished 10th in the Big East Conference Indoor Championships in the 200, and was part of a 4 x 400 relay team that finished third and broke a 10-year-old school record.

Another top sprinter from last year’s Blue Dukes team, James Stecker, is running at UW-Madison. The Badgers won the Big Ten Indoor Championship; Stecker ran in two varsity events as an “unattached” competitor, finishing second in the Red and White Open on Feb. 15.

On the women’s side, distance runner Emma-Lisa Murphy was eighth in the 3,000 meters at the Badger Track Classic on Jan. 12.

Mariah Vichich was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer women’s soccer team in the fall after playing 19 matches, starting 17, as a defender for Loyola University Chicago.
