LEVITTOWN, NY — General Douglas MacArthur High School student athlete Alexandra Thompson has been named an All-American, the highest honor that a high school athlete can earn.

Thompson, the goalkeeper for MacArthur’s girls’ soccer team – a Long Island Champion – has earned the honor of joining the United Soccer Coaches High School All-American team with her impressive plays on the field and her tremendous personal characteristics off the field.

She was one of only four goalkeepers in the entire nation named to this team, one of only three players from New York State and the only player from Long Island to earn this honor.
