One of Cape Ann’s top three-sport athletes, Lily Athanas starred in field hockey, basketball and lacrosse at Manchester Essex. She was the CAL Baker Player of the Year in field hockey and garnered All-CAL honors as a standout guard in basketball.
Athanas has found her greatest success on the lacrosse field, helping Manchester Essex to a Division 2 North title as a sophomore in 2019 before leading the Hornets to a 7-4 season this spring as a senior captain. Following her graduation Athanas will play Division 1 college lacrosse at Georgetown University, where she plans to study science.
“It’s a huge honor and looking at the list of people who earned the award the years before me, it’s an honor to be considered a part of that group because those people are so inspirational and honorable,” Athanas said.
