News Article Celebrates Sophie Zirkin ’25 As Leader in 3-Point Shots for 2024-25 Basketball Season
Today’s Baltimore Sun featured an article on Park senior Sophie Zirkin, highlighting her record-setting in shooting 3-pointers for regular-season basketball games.
It is believed that her 130 3-pointers in 24 regular-season games set a single-season Maryland state record, beating her own mark of 99 triples in 22 games as a junior. [Coach] Bobby tirelessly scoured the internet trying to find a better shooting performance in the area. Nothing came close. The Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association said they only keep records for the state tournament. According to MaxPreps, which relies on self-publishing, Sophie has the fifth most triples in the country this season. State record or not, she topped 1,000 career points in November and her jumper is impossible to ignore.
