Academies name Athletes of the Month
CULVER - Culver Academies has named Maggie Groszek and Elijah Pack as its girls and boy February Athlete of the Month, respectively.
Groszek has been a crucial part in CGA’S success this season as they eye an upcoming National Tournament run. As an alternate captain, Maggie provides a tremendous amount of leadership on and off the ice, which has resulted in top-notch on-ice performances. During nine games in the month of February, she has accumulated eight goals and five assists. Well over a point per game, she has established herself as a threat on the powerplay and a crucial component in even strength situations.
“Maggie has been a leader within the CGA Prep locker room for the last two seasons,” said head coach Cory Whitaker. “She is an absolute workhorse on the ice and in the weight room.”
Pack is no stranger to success on the wrestling mat. He finished the regular season with a perfect 18-0 record, making him the second-most winningest wrestler in program history. In the month of February during a phenomenal post-season campaign, he claimed Sectional, Regional, and Semi State championships, culminating with a third-place overall finish at the IHSAA State Finals in the 195 lb. class. Along the way, his most notable victories came against the number four, five, and seventh ranked wrestlers in the state.
“Eli is a stand-up person, has tremendous work ethic, and is a leader and friend to all on the team,” said head coach Ramsey Bradke. “We are incredibly proud of his accomplishments over his career.”
