Mia Arrieta

Middletown High School; Soccer, Basketball, Track & Field

Mia Arrieta, a senior who has played soccer, basketball, and track at Middletown High School in Middletown, Rhode Island understands that “the key to making teammates better starts with making yourself better—and not trying to do it all yourself.” This fall, Mia experienced the unthinkable when, during a soccer game between Chariho and Middletown, Chariho captain Maddie Potts collapsed on the soccer field, and later died of a brain aneurysm. Mia brought her own team together, and cared for her teammates, and her opponents.  Mia honors the game in the deepest possible way, for herself, for her teammates, and for Maddie Potts.
