Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot, 150-pound senior central midfielder led the Lions to a 23-0-4 record and the Class 3A state championship this past season. Salm scored seven goals and passed for 10 assists, logging four of those setups in the postseason. His influence and control during the state championship match earned him the Most Outstanding Player award. He has lifted Willow to three straight Division III state titles and was an All-State Defensive Most Valuable Player honoree in 2024.
