Kirsten Slinkard
Recruit Profile
Dedicated, versatile, and selfless on the lacrosse field, disciplined in athletics and academics.
I started playing lacrosse in the second grade, have played club lacrosse since the sixth grade, and currently play for the Ultimate NC2023 team and my high school varsity team. One of my future goals is to play lacrosse in college, and will do everything I can to accomplish this goal. As a freshman and sophomore, I played on the varsity team at Panther Creek High School, starting both seasons. After my sophomore season, I was selected to participate in the Body Armor State Games for Girls Lacrosse, and was selected as a starter. This summer, my twin sister and I organized and ran summer off season practices for the HS team 3 days per week to assist JV players and their development in the off-season. Outside of playing in high school and club, I spend 3 days per week with an athletic trainer in the off-season focusing on explosion, top speed, agility, recovery, and injury prevention.
Academically, I have made it a point to select challenging courses to best prepare me for the future, including AP classes (Psychology, Chemistry. US History, Calculus, Physics, Statistics). I am active in the school's dance club and well as the music outreach program bringing art, music, and dance to senior centers, and volunteered to be a team manager for the volleyball team.
Along with sports and academic commitments, I babysit for families in our neighborhood most weekends and spend time tutoring younger children. During the 2020-2021 academic year, I traveled each weekday to the home of a family with a son that was on the verge of being held back for poor reading performance. I developed a comprehensive and fun learning program for him that helped him move his reading scores to the top of his grade level. To this day, this is one of the my proudest accomplishments of my life.
