Heidenreich just concluded her career as a forward on the UWS women’s hockey team.
The Hayward native led the team with 10 points during a shortened 2020-2021 season.
Saints golf standout Johnson, a native of Two Harbors, helped lead CSS to their fifth straight conference title and a trip to nationals this spring.
