Mayo Star's Hoops Grind: Non-Stop Summer

Maggie Dyer, a standout junior forward from Rochester Mayo, has dedicated her summer to an intensive basketball regimen. She recently competed in the invitation-only Strictly Minnesota High School Girls 3x3 championships, where her team secured two wins and two losses. This event followed a rigorous schedule of individual workouts, basketball training sessions, and AAU practices with the North Tartan 16-under team in the Twin Cities.

Dyer has competed in multiple major tournaments across the country, including events in Arizona, Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Chicago. Her strong performance has attracted significant attention from Division I college programs. She has already visited the University of St. Thomas, the University of Minnesota, and the University of South Dakota, with further visits planned for the fall before she makes her college commitment.

Last season, Dyer was instrumental in Rochester Mayo's first state tournament appearance in 11 years. She averaged 18.3 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, shooting 55% from the field and 36% on three-pointers. Alongside fellow junior Amelia Mills, Dyer forms a formidable duo for the Mayo Spartans, who finished third in the state tournament, motivated by a near-miss in the semifinals.
