Harriton’s Mady Calhoun is Main Line Girls Athlete of the Week

The 5-foot-10 junior forward, who received All-Main Line recognition last winter, is off to a great start this season, averaging more than 13 points per game (as of Feb. 5), rebounding well (10 boards vs. Strath Haven), blocking shots (five vs. Springfield and Strath Haven) and playing good defense. Harriton girls basketball head coach Chris Wielgus said, “Mady is a fierce competitor with a love for the game of basketball. She has worked hard to develop her skill and her physicality.” A fine all-around athlete, Calhoun plays soccer for Harriton in the fall. Her mother, Grace Calhoun, is the Athletic Director at the University of Pennsylvania and her father, Jason Calhoun, is the men’s golf coach at Penn.
