🏆 SHS TOP RAIDER GIRL – AVA HOLZWARTH 🏆
Congratulations to Ava Holzwarth, our 2025-26 Top Raider Girl at Stevens High School!
Ava is the definition of a student-athlete. In the fall, she has been one of the top soccer players in South Dakota and has verbally committed to continue her athletic career at South Dakota State University. In the spring, she has established herself as one of the premier track & field athletes in South Dakota.
Ava is the Stevens High School long jump record holder, owns the #2 long jump mark in South Dakota history, is a member of our State Record 4x100 relay team, and has been one of the key contributors to the success of our program.
But this recognition is about more than records, medals, and championships. Ava is one of the fiercest competitors around. Her work ethic, leadership, determination, and commitment to her teammates have made her one of the most respected athletes in our school.
The Top Raider Girl award recognizes excellence in athletics, leadership, character, and school involvement—and Ava embodies all of those qualities.
We are incredibly proud of everything she has accomplished and even more proud of the person she has become.
Congratulations, Ava, on being named the Top Raider Girl! 💙🤍🏴☠️
