Lucas Andrade of Brockton HS: Student-Athlete of the Month for May 2025

The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association is proud to announce that Brockton High School’s Lucas Andrade has been chosen as the Student of the Month for May 2025. Lucas was nominated by Athletic Director Kevin Karo.
Lucas is a shining example of the success student-athletes can achieve when they take advantage of opportunities. In his first year at Brockton High School, Lucas did not participate in Track and his grades in the classroom were less than stellar. However, it was during his sophomore year that he realized had potential as a student and as an athlete. Through the support of the great faculty and coaches at Brockton High School, and with the continued support and encouragement from his family, Lucas joined the Track team; a decision that changed everything. Over the next three years, Lucas has not only become the best track and field hurdler in state history, but also improved his grades and earned great academic opportunities.
This year he shattered the MIAA Indoor and New England record in the 55-meter hurdles on his way to a third-place finish and All-America honors at the National Championships. He was also the triple crown winner (Divisional, All State, New Englands) in back-to-back years. This Spring he broke the Massachusetts and New England record in the 110-meter hurdles. Many have said that Lucas is the all-time greatest hurdler in MIAA history.
More important than his athletic prowess, Lucas’ performance in the classroom has evolved. No longer a student that underperforms, Lucas has seen the value in education and has earned an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Rhode Island. His athletic and academic transformation has been a great model for all Brockton students.
Outside of track Lucas has volunteered his time to the Brockton youth track club, helping pass down his knowledge and skills as a mentor to the next generation of youth athletes. He has a great family that supports him and encourages his dreams and is proud to be another Boxer Success Story.
The MIAA congratulates Lucas and the entire Brockton High School community.
