Iowa commit McKenna Woliczko is one step closer to high school basketball immortality

We are starting to run out of words to describe future Hawkeye McKenna Woliczko.

After suffering season-ending ACL and meniscus injuries during her junior year last season, Woliczko has fully returned to the court like she never left.

According to her father, Aaron Woliczko, McKenna is currently averaging 20.8 points and 11.0 rebounds per game in 11 games this season.

She is also shooting 67 percent from the field since her return.

Woliczko is racking up the platitudes during her senior year, including being named to the Naismith Player of the Year Midseason Team and earning a spot on Team USA for the 2026 Nike Hoops Summit in April.

With her senior season winding down, Woliczko is one step closer to immortality after earning another distinction.

Woliczko was named a Naismith Player of the Year semifinalist

Woliczko was named a semifinalist for the Naismith Girls' High School Player of the Year Award as she continues to dominate for Archbishop Mitty High School.

Even though she has been limited to only 11 games this season, Woliczko has recorded six games with 20-plus points and has notched a double-double in seven of the 11 games.

Woliczko joined a star-studded list for the award, including Addison Bjorn (Texas), Oliviyah Edwards (Tennessee), Maddyn Greenway (Kentucky), Saniyah Hall (USC), Kate Harpring (North Carolina), Jerzy Robinson (South Carolina), Olivia Vukosa (UConn), and potential 2027 Iowa recruits Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka and Kaleena Smith.

The six-foot-two forward is getting everyone hyped to see her in Iowa City next season as she continues her push to be named the top girls high school basketball player in the country.
