Kristin Maris
Congratulations to Kristin Maris from the G91R (U18) team. She was recently named Washington State 4A Most Valuable Player for the year. She played at Issaquah High for Coach Tom Bunnell. Her older sister Lauren also played for EFC.
Kristin has been with us since U11. She played her first year under Coach Brian Arnot. Since then, she's played every year for Coach Tom Bialek. This is her last year.
She's heading to Bellingham to play for Western Washington University on a soccer scholarship. Undecided about a major at this point, she's mulling over Sports Medicine as an area of focus. Kristin's gonna have a little company while playing for the Vikings. EFC's Anna Geldenhuys, the KingCo 3A Player of the Year, will be her teammate. Kristin and Anna have been playing together since U11. I think it's fantastic that they're gonna keep it together on into college.
Here's what Kristin said when I talked with her about today's post. "Playing at EFC has been so much fun. A few of us have been playing together since U11. I love practices. I'm sad to be leaving, but definitely excited about the future." When I asked her for a few words of wisdom for younger players coming up behind her, here's what she said. "Enjoy it while it lasts and keep working hard. I'm sure they'll have a bright future."
We wish Kristin the very best....
