Minneapolis Athena- Honoring Outstanding Female Athletes

Athena- The goddess of wisdom and skills, she was dauntless as she presided over the Parthenon. She was invisible, possessing gifts of dignity, power and youth. According to myth, Athena discovered the olive tree. Thus, the olive wreath has been a symbol of athletics since the first Olympics in Greece.

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and in accordance with governmental directives and public health officials’ guidance, the 2020 Minneapolis Athena Awards annual luncheon scheduled for Friday, May 8, 2020 has been CANCELLED. 

 

Our Mission:

To recognize the outstanding senior young female athlete from each of the Minneapolis city, suburban and private schools and to honor each woman for her achievements in one or several sports.
