MDI’s Shaw Named High School Athlete of the Week [WEEK 2]

We'd like to congratulate Kelsely Shaw of the MDI Trojans for being chosen by our readers as the McDonald's High School Athlete of the Week!

Shaw averaged 22.3 points in three games, scoring 33 points against Washington Academy in a win, leading all scorers. In her next two games, she scored 14 points and 20 points in wins over Foxcroft Academy and GSA, respectively.

In the voting, Shaw bested Tia Tardy of the Mattanawcook Academy Lynx (indoor track), who also had a spectacular second week of the winter sports season. The sophomore set a long jump record for the new University of Maine field house at 17-feet, 4-inches in the first EMITL/PVC meet of the indoor track season. She also won the 800-meter event with a time of 2:23.79 and finished 2^nd in the 200-meter event.
