Wilkerson and Isaac are this year's team captains for the team and it is a big responsibility. Keeping your teammates as well as you on the right track could be challenging at times and takes some time to get used to, but they both manage it very well.

“Being captain this year is an honor and I am grateful to lead our team. I like to encourage my teammates and give them positive feedback,” Issac said.

While it may be challenging, it also is a special thing, they have underclassmen looking up to them as role models and helping them develop leadership skills for the future.

“Being Captain is one of the best things I could ask for. It has given me a leadership role that has allowed me to grow and evolve as a person. I know people are looking to me and others to set a good example for the team. To keep the team motivated, I try to encourage everyone to do their best and also be positive around my teammates because positivity allows my teammates to believe in their abilities,” Wilkerson said.

Being on any sports team or even club comes with good memories that are worth cherishing. Those are the moments that outshine the not-so-good ones or the days that just aren’t the best. “My most memorable moment was chalk and Croc day last year. It was a great team bonding day and allowed us to enjoy the beautiful bonds lacrosse can create. I had a lot of fun creating different artwork with the team as well as running in our Crocs,” Wilkerson said.
