Week 5: Eagle of the Week - Peyton Killeen

This week’s eagle of the week goes to senior, Peyton Killeen. Peyton has really stepped into her role as captain.

Week 1: Eagle of the Week - Katherine Caufield



Our first full fall week is complete! Katherine Caufield, a sophomore and member of the Gold Team has been honored as the year’s first Eagle of the Week. Caufield returned to campus with a renewed energy and clearly did her work over the summer. She not only passed all of the conditioning tests, but she passed them easily. In addition, she ran the Manchester Test a second time the following day to help a couple teammates pass – that is true dedication and a true teammate! Her presence on the field has also been noticed, as she is playing with a sense of confidence and poise that will certainly take her places. Directing teammates and speaking up on the field are clear indicators that she is ready to make a statement this year. What is even more impressive is that Cauf has really gone above and beyond, doing the little things when nobody is watching. She has been spotted on Alumni on multiple occasions, playing around with teammates to improve her game. The coaching staff is thrilled to see this type of work ethic, focus, determination, and positive attitude – those are the character traits that lead to great success. Congratulations to Caufield for setting the tone for everyone for 2010!
