FUFSD October Student Athletes of the Month

The S.S. Seward Institute has recognized four students as Student Athletes of the Month for October 2026.

Athletic Director Joe DiMattina shared his thoughts on what makes these student athletes exceptional. 

Caroline Maher -  Caroline is currently ranked #2 in Section IX Class D in the 5000 meters. In the OCIAA Championship in Warwick, she set a personal best and school course record with a time of 20:25.9. 

Ryan Slesinski - Ryan is one of the hardest working players on the boys varsity soccer team. He sets high standards every day at practice and I can count on him in games to perform well. He plays on the wing, but has also filled in at fullback and center midfield when needed.

Eliana White - Eliana is a senior on the girls varsity soccer team and a five-year starter. Serving as co-captain for the second consecutive year, she brings valuable experience, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to her team’s success. Eliana has demonstrated her versatility by transitioning from an offensive role as a goal scorer to a defensive role, where she helps prevent goals and control the midfield. Her willingness to put the team first, adapt to new responsibilities, and do whatever it takes to win exemplifies what it means to be a true team player and leader.

Mikaelah Schreibeis - Mikaelah is an outstanding student-athlete who excels on the court and in the classroom. She has been able to wisely manage her time between academics and athletics - earning high marks in her classes and being highly successful on the volleyball court. As one of our team captains, her dedication, hard work, and talent has helped lead the team to clinching the OCIAA Division 6 title.
