Three Wayzata girls land All-State soccer berths
Three Wayzata High girls were named to the Minnesota Soccer Coaches’ Association All-State team recently. First-team honors went to junior defender Lila Hawkinson, a third-year varsity player. Named second-team All-State were junior goalkeeper Fiona Kinahan and junior midfielder Ellen Welliver. “Lila Hawkinson is the best defender in the state in my opinion,” Wayzata head coach Tony Peszneker said. “She has great leg strength. Lila plays on a club team where she is surrounded by other All-State players. This year she took a step forward with her leadership.” Kinahan was injured for half of the season, but played in enough matches to gain All-State consideration. “Fiona is a fierce competitor with sure hands,” coach Peszneker said. “When she was unable to play, we had two other goalkeepers, Chloe Sullivan and Kemper Steenson, step in and do a good job.

The discovery left Washburn at 127 points and moved Wayzata’s points to 128. “It would have been nice if we had won,” Wayzata head coach Mark Popp said. “But it is what it is. There are a lot of good runners here, and they all mixed it up. It was harder than ever to make All-State [top 25 in the race].” Wayzata’s pack ran together, which has been the formula for success all season. Rosemount and Maple Grove went out faster than the Trojans did on Saturday. “I thought Rosemount would be tough to catch, but we did catch them,” coach Popp said. Leading the way for Wayzata were juniors Charlie Williams and Thomas Berndt, the 13th and
