This week may have marked the final high school girls soccer game for Libby Magnone.
But her impact on future student athletes in Illinois is just beginning.
Because of the efforts of Libby and her family, a historic settlement was reached in May 2025 that changed opportunities for student athletes across Illinois - allowing them to participate in both high school and non-school events in the same sport during the same season without losing eligibility.
For decades, kids had choices to make: Play with your high school teammates and represent your community or miss opportunities outside of school.
Previously, you could take Spanish in high school and compete in a Spanish event outside of school in the same semester, but you couldn’t do that in a sport - even on a Sunday when schools are closed.
Think of the 10s of 1,000s of kids who sit the high school bench the entire season. How did the IHSA ever have authority to control and own what they and their families did in their free time - especially on a Sunday?
Then one student athlete asked a question that felt pretty simple: Why can’t we do both like 75 percent of high school student athletes in the U.S.?
That question helped spark a conversation that ultimately led to change thanks to the unwavering guidance and support from #ILRep Janet Yang Rohr.
Now think about the 10s of 1,000s of future student athletes who may never have to make that same choice.
That’s impact - lifelong impact.
Officially, it’s called the Right to Play Act.
But to me, it’ll always be #LibbysAct.
One student athlete.
One family.
A lasting (Libby) impact.
