Alberts named FHS Athena Award winner


Devyn Alberts has been named the recipient of the 2011 Farmington High School Athena Award. She and 39 other St. Paul area student athletes were honored at a banquet Wednesday, Apr. 27, at the Prom Center in Oakdale.
Alberts has excelled in both soccer and track and field during her high school athletic career at Farmington.
In soccer, her primary sport, Alberts has earned five varsity letters and three times has been named to the all-Missota Conference team. She was the Most Outstanding Player for four consecutive years and as a senior made both the All-Metro and All-State teams.
As a middle distance runner in track, Alberts received four varsity letters, won all-conference honors and as a freshman, ran a leg on the the Tiger 4x800 meter relay team that not only broke a school record but also finished fifth at the Class AA State Championships.
In addition to her lengthy on-the-field resume, Alberts has also excelled in the classroom, earning Academic All-State honors in both soccer and track.
Next fall, Alberts will attend the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay where she will play NCAA Division I women's soccer.
