Athlete of the Week: Nick Lucien

By: Katharine Getz ‘21

While Nick Lucien may be joining the Wyoming Seminary football team for only one season, he is undoubtedly making a difference for the team. In the team’s homecoming game against Blair Academy, he scored multiple touchdowns and had some big plays. Additionally, Nick scored the game winning touchdown in the team’s first game of the season against the Hill School, which Nick notes was his favorite moment of the season so far. As a postgraduate from Bethlehem, PA, he plays as a wide receiver and cornerback. He loves the Minnesota Vikings, and, while his favorite player may be Odell Beckham Jr., his role model is his older brother. Nick also enjoys math, Chick-fil-A, and the color Carolina blue. The Opinator wishes Nick and his team the best of luck this weekend as they travel to Loyola Blakefield School to compete!

Just in her freshman year, Margaret Mihalick ‘22 already has accomplished some very immpresive achievements.

At halftime, the team was down 16 points, but they were able to score 28 points in the fourth quarter alone and comeback for a win. In that game, 15 of the 28 points were scored by Mihalick. That win against Northwest allowed them to secure their undefeated record. In a total of 25 games, Mihalick scored a total of 120 points. Additionally, she has gone 25/32 from the free throw line. In her first year on the basketball team, Margaret Mihalick has achieved so much, and she will be continuing her successful athletic career this spring on the varsity lacrosse team.
