Club Leaders

Mia Keener, Co-President:

My name is Mia Keener and I am a senior from Columbus, OH. I lived in Cav for my 3 amazing years on campus, but now live off campus. I am the current co-president of BKSTR this year! Coming to Notre Dame, I knew I wanted to be involved in BKSTR since I grew up hearing many stories of this tradition from my Dad. Since I am aware that my impact would not happen on the court, due to lack of basketball talents, I decided I wanted to get involved through the executive side. I was a commissioner my sophomore year and served on the marketing team last year. I am so excited to get the tournament rolling this year and anxiously await the days spent on the courts in the South Bend spring. This tournament has been a huge part of my family, but also my time here at Notre Dame, and I cannot wait to continue to hear the many stories that come with it each year.

Anna Hamilton, Co-President

My name is Anna Hamilton, and I am a senior from Leawood, Kansas, studying Neuroscience and Behavior. I lived in Johnson Family Hall for three years and now live off-campus. I am one of the Co-Presidents of Bookstore Basketball this year, and I am so excited to kick off another great tournament this spring! Nothing quite echoes the spirit of Notre Dame like Bookstore Basketball, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to help cultivate this fun and energetic community that brings so much life to our campus. When I'm not at the Bookstore Courts, you can probably find me giving tours at the Basilica, training for the Holy Half, or balling out with my beloved JFam interhall basketball team. I cannot wait to watch teams compete for the championship trophy while supporting Jumpball, our incredible partner organization. See you all on the courts!

Kate Michalek, Co-Vice President

My name is Kate Michalek, and I am a junior from Denver, CO. I currently live in Welsh Fam on campus. I’m one of the VPs of Bookstore Basketball this year, and I am so excited for the upcoming tournament. I have been part of BKSTR each of my three years here, both playing in the tournament and helping to organize it. Being a part of BKST exec has been a great experience so far, bringing together the ND community to compete and support the Jumpball programme in Jamaica. I am so excited for the tournament to start up and look forward to seeing everyone on the courts!

Isaac LeFevre, Co-Vice President

My name is Isaac LeFevre. I am a junior from Fort Recovery, Ohio. I live in St. Edward's Hall right now, majoring in Science Pre-Professional Studies and minoring in Theology and Foundations of Business. I am one of the VPs for the tournament this year. I am so excited to take up this role to ensure that one of Notre Dame's greatest traditions lives on after more than 50 amazing years. For the past few years, I have been a commissioner and on the executive board and look to continue my service to this great cause. In July 2025, I was one of two Notre Dame students to go down to Kingston, Jamaica and help run the camp down there, where the money from the tournament goes. Your impact and support of this tournament means so much more than you know. I look forward to finally playing this year and seeing all you out there as well. Go Irish and long live BKSTR!
