Being named a captain of a high school sports team is a huge honor for athletes. Those who earn the captain’s role are leaders for their peers both on and off the field, and take on a great responsibility to their teammates and coaches. The FCIAC is honoring these leaders with the “Meet The Captains” feature. Throughout the fall season, each captain will be recognized on FCIAC.net, complete with photos and a comment from their coaches.
Congratulations to all of our fall captains!

Head Coach Kelly Marks: “On the field, she’s fast and she’s fierce and she’s looking to finish up front. A lot of the girls see that in her and they want to be a part of that. She’s the type of person you put on the field and you know she’s going to give 110% all the time.”
