A four sport athlete, Izzy competes in Soccer, Cross Country Running, Nordic Skiing, and Track and Field. She is a captain in each of her sports. \u00a0Izzy has accumulated 19 varsity letters in athletics, 9 All Conference or Honorable Mention awards from the IMAC conference, and countless team MVPs honors and coaches awards. She is also a stellar student who appears on the honor roll, has earned academic letters, and is a member of the Cum Laude Society.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been fortunate to coach Izzy since she was a 7th grader. She is an absolutely tremendous kid, really among the best ever to come through MPA. Her combination of leadership skills, positive attitude, kindness, and athletic ability don&#8217;t come along very often,&#8221; says Panthers\u00a0Cross Country Running and Track and Field coach Nate Bander. &#8220;I can\u2019t wait to see what great things await her as she heads off to college.&#8221;\u00a0Izzy joins her older sisters Erin (2017) and Ellie (2019) in winning the Athena Award.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twincities.com\/2021\/04\/19\/meet-the-2021-st-paul-area-athena-award-winners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to read about Izzy and all St. Paul Area Athena Award winners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to MPA&#8217;s 2021 Athena Award Winner, senior Izzy Quam for committing to St. Michael&#8217;s College in Colchester, Vermont for Nordic Skiing!
