Congratulations to senior, Bailey Gray for being named the Benilde-St. Margaret School recipient of the 2025 Athena Award. Bailey has been a standout member of our athletic program throughout her entire BSM career. As a three-sport student-athlete, Bailey’s contributions to the soccer, hockey and lacrosse programs have been invaluable. The accolades she has earned along the way while maintaining success in the classroom further highlight her excellence on and off the ice/field. 

Bailey lettered in soccer, hockey and lacrosse; was a captain of both her hockey and lacrosse teams and all conference as well as all state in hockey and lacrosse.

When Bailey is not competing, she supports her community in many other ways. At BSM, she is involved in the Letters of Love Club and is an ambassador for Morgan’s Message. Outside of BSM she volunteers at Zachery Lane Elementary School.

In the fall of 2025 Bailey will attend the University of Delaware and play hockey.

Athena is the Goddess of Wisdom and Skills. She was brave and possessed the essence of all that is noble.  Legend tells us that she possessed gifts of dignity, power, and youth, making her invincible. 

The Minneapolis Area Athena Awards program honors outstanding female high school senior student-athletes from Minneapolis and suburban high schools for their athletic achievements.  The award is based on excellence in individual sports or for participation and accomplishments in team sports.
