All-State Honors for Upsala's Richelle Thompson!

Sophomore Richelle Thompson has been named to the 2025 Minnesota All-State Team for Girls Soccer!

Richelle is the first sophomore in Flyers Girls Soccer history to earn All-State honors and one of only five sophomores recognized statewide in Class AA this year. She is also just the fifth Flyer player ever to receive this prestigious recognition - a testament to her talent, her teammates, and the strength of the program.

Richelle was honored last Sunday at the MN State High School Soccer Coaches Association All-State Ceremony in St. Paul.

Congratulations, Richelle - we are so proud of you!
