Megan and Elizabeth Zimmerman `24 were named Girl Athletes of the Year by the Cincinnati Enquirer

Out of more than 500 nominees from 33 sports in three seasons, the Enquirer awarded 49 plaques to the best teams, coaches, and athletes of the year, including Elizabeth and Megan Zimmerman `24, who were selected as the athletes of the year. It was a gathering of the best of the best: 1.04 % of Cincinnati's more than 48,000 athletes from the 2023-24 school year.

"The two winners simply dominated in every season, combining for 57 goals and 49 assists to lead the soccer team to back-to-back state championships, 36 points per game and 14 rebounds per game to lead the basketball team to a regional semifinal, and 92 goals and 131 draw controls to lead the lacrosse team to a district final. They were both all-state honorees in soccer and basketball and were named all-region honorable mention in lacrosse."

Both alumni committed to Washington and Lee University to play soccer in the fall. They were also both “12 Season Athletes” during their tenure at Country Day, meaning they each played a sport each season during their high school careers.
