Bay Area girls basketball superstar McKenna Woliczko of Archbishop Mitty releases top four college choices
Superstar Bay Area girls basketball forward McKenna Woliczko is down to four schools.
The Archbishop Mitty hooper, who has been recovering from a torn ACL since January, has remained busy with campus visits and released her top four college choices on Thursday with posts on the X platform and Instagram.
Woliczko’s top four are Iowa, South Carolina, Ohio State and USC.
All four were in her original top 10 schools, which also included Florida State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Stanford, Texas and Vanderbilt.
The five-star prospect has officially visited Ohio State and plans to visit South Carolina and Iowa this summer. She is looking to visit USC in the fall during a home football weekend.
Of the four schools still on her list, USC has the most direct Bay Area connection. Trojans coach Lindsay Gottlieb had a successful run as the Cal women’s basketball coach from 2011-2019, a tenure that included a trip to the Final Four in 2013.
Woliczko is targeting a decision in the fall but does not have a specific timeline, sources told the Bay Area News Group.
The San Bruno native burst onto the scene as a freshman and was named the Bay Area News Group’s 2022-23 girls basketball player of the year after she averaged 20.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game on a team that came within a buzzer-beating tip-in of winning the state’s Open Division title.
She went back-to-back as BANG’s player of the year in 2024 when she averaged 22 points, eight rebounds and two blocks per game for a Mitty juggernaut that spent the majority of the season ranked as the nation’s top team.
During each of the past two summers, Woliczko played for Team USA in the FIBA U-16 and U-17 tournaments, helping the United States win gold in each competition.
Woliczko was also a standout softball player for the perennially elite Mitty program, being named to the all-BANG team in 2023 as a freshman shortstop after hitting .429.
