Trojan of the Month: Mikaela Limper

TOTMChildren often grow up looking up to their fathers and Point Guard Senior Mikaela Limper is no exception, and began playing basketball intending to follow in her father’s footsteps.

“I look up to my dad,” Limper said, “I just wanted to go in his footsteps, and just the love for the game kept me going.”

Inspired by her father, Limper began playing when she was six years old. Once she started, she never stopped. “(My dad) played basketball growing up and he played all through high school,” Limper said, “He went into college expecting to play all four years, but (suffered) a career-ending injury in his freshman year, so he couldn’t play.”

Limper is always looking for ways to improve herself, especially during practices. “If she misses a pass or shot in practice, you’ll see her on the side at a water break working on it until she gets it absolutely perfect,” said Forward Junior Summer Bolibol, “We all look up to her.”

As team captain, Limper makes it a point to push herself to create an example for her teammates to follow. “(Limper’s) work ethic and unselfishness is really what makes her a great player,” said Head Coach Patrick Basilio, “She’s an extremely hard worker, never quits, always has a positive outlook.”

After graduation, Limper will be playing basketball at the University of Puget Sound in Washington.
