Cavalier still holds the Lowellville Track 1600 meter record at 4:23.30 and qualified for the State Meet twice, which included a 3rd place finish in the 800m.

Iowa women's basketball 2027 four-star recruit commits to IMG Academy

After two dominant seasons at Cardinal Mooney (Sarasota, Fla.), Iowa women's basketball's four-star 2027 small forward recruit Madison Mignery announced on Friday that she will be transferring to IMG Academy to further her blossoming development. In her sophomore campaign with Cardinal Mooney, Mignery averaged an impressive 16.0 points per game on 56% shooting from the floor, 36% from 3-point territory, and 77% from the free-throw line through 28 contests. The 6-foot-1 forward also captained the Cardinal Mooney team to a 24-9 record, helping guide the school to a 2025 Florida High School Athletic Association Class 3A state championship with 19 points and 11 rebounds in the title game against Bolles. The Sarasota, Florida, native is regarded as the No. 2 player in the Sunshine State per Prep Girls Hoops. The Hawkeyes extended Mignery an offer on May 29, which added Iowa to a growing list of offers, including Ohio State, Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State, Kentucky, Florida, TCU, and Stanford. With the move to IMG, Mignery will compete against some of the top talent in the nation, which should help her improve her game as her recruitment furthers while staying relatively close to home in nearby Bradenton, Fla.
