Boardman Spartan Standout Makes College Choice, Heading to Ohio’s Baldwin Wallace

In a decision celebrated by the local sports community, Boardman High School senior Ava Theodore has officially announced her commitment to continue her academic and athletic career at Baldwin Wallace University in Berea, Ohio. The announcement solidifies the next chapter for one of the Spartans’ key student-athletes.

Theodore, a multi-sport talent known for her dedication on the court and in the classroom, made her choice public this week. While her specific sport was not detailed in the initial report, her commitment to a respected NCAA Division III program like Baldwin Wallace highlights the caliber of athlete developing right here in Boardman.

“We are incredibly proud of Ava for this accomplishment,” said a Boardman High School athletic department representative. “It speaks to the hard work our students put in every day, both in their sport and in their studies. Seeing them earn these opportunities is what it’s all about.”

Baldwin Wallace University, a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference, is recognized for blending competitive athletics with strong academic programs. For local families, Theodore’s path serves as an encouraging example for younger athletes in Morrow County, proving that collegiate opportunities are within reach.

Theodore is expected to sign her National Letter of Intent in the coming weeks, with Spartan fans wishing her the best as she prepares to trade the blue and gold for the Brown and Gold of the Yellow Jackets next fall.
