Palisadian Haley Greenberg was named female athlete of the year at Windward last week during the Santa Monica school’s annual sports banquet. Greenberg, a junior who lives near Palisades High, was a key starter on three varsity teams. As co-captain of the Wildcats’ softball squad, the 17-year-old shortstop led Windward to the Delphic League championship, earned First-Team All League honors and the team’s Best Defensive Player trophy. Defense was Greenberg’s specialty throughout the 2006-07 school year. In the fall she was the defensive specialist on the volleyball team and in the winter she played sweeper for the soccer team, earning Best Defensive Player honors. While attending Marquez Elementary, Greenberg was a pitcher and catcher in the PPBA. As an 11-year-old in 2000 she became the first girl named to the Mustang traveling all-star team. At St. Matthew’s, Greenberg played a key role in the Falcons’ recent success in softball, which has been carried on the last three seasons by her younger sister, Danielle.
