Thirteen Lady Leps Varsity Soccer Players Earn Academic All-District

In 2026, the La Grange Lady Leps Varsity Soccer team exhibited discipline and determination on the field and in the classroom. The program is proud to announce that thirteen of its student-athletes were named to the 2026 District 24-4A Academic All-District team.

• Lily Banks*, Freshman

• Samantha Castaneda, Senior

• Kyla Colon*, Senior

• Raylee Gutierrez*, Freshman

• Eliza Luna, Freshman

• Hope Michalke*, Senior

• Paige Michalke, Sophomore • Kaylee Soto, Senior

• Jaley Stork*, Senior

• Jazlyn Torres, Freshman

• Juliana Vasquez, Junior

• Kayden Yanis*, Freshman

• Trinity Yanis*, Senior To earn their Academic All-District distinction, these student-athletes maintained above a 90 average across their courseload during the 2026 district season (which started in the fourth six-weeks period and culminated in the fifth six-weeks period). Among these thirteen students, seven earned a grade of 90 or above in every course that they were taking during the fifth six-weeks period (a rigorous distinction denoted by an asterisk after their last name).

“The success of the Lady Leps soccer program is measured by more than onthe- field wins,” said Coach Barry Donovan. “Successfully navigated a 16-game district season and two-game playoff run while excelling in the classroom reflects hard work and focused priorities. This achievement should be a point of pride for the entire La Grange community.”
