Owatonna’s Ginskey wins Triple “A”

Owatonna senior Connor Ginskey won the Class AAA Triple “A” award this past week after being selected by the MSHSL for the honor.
Ginskey was chosen as Owatonna’s male representative last December and advanced through the regional selection process to be a Triple “A” finalist.
The senior became eligible for the award after showing exemplary commitment and participation in academics, arts and athletics for Owatonna High School.
Aside from being a National Merit semifinalist, Ginskey also played the trumpet in the band for four years while also singing in the school’s solo ensemble and choir.
Athletically, Ginskey was a part of the Owatonna cross-country team and was an individual participant at the MSHSL state meet.
More recently, Ginskey competed for the Owatonna basketball team and helped his squad reach a sixth-place finish at the MSHSL State Tournament.
In winning the Triple “A” award, Ginskey will receive a four-year $1,000 scholarship as he prepares for college.
Ginskey is Owatonna’s second male winner in the past two years after Lane Versteeg won the award last March.
