AQ Signing Day


Every high school athlete wishes for the opportunity to continue playing their favorite sport through college, but only a few are fortunate enough to do so. Instead of just one or two athletes signing, Aquinas had nine athletes who signed their letters of intent to continue playing in college. These nine athletes were, Conrad Brake (Football at University of Pittsburgh), Kelsey Brinkel (Soccer at Roberts Wesleyan), Emily Doell (Golf at Seton Hill), Earnest Edwards (Football at University of Maine), Jamir Jones (Football at Notre Dame), Bri Niedermeier (Soccer at Cleveland State), Taylor Riggins (Football at University of Massachusetts), Caroline Ross (Hockey at Boston College), and Nick Tschetter (Lacrosse at Lake Erie College).  All nine student athletes wrote and gave a speech stating how thankful they are for the support they have gotten from everyone and how excited they are to continue on with their athletic careers. The signing athletes shared this experience with their peers, classmates, and family member in the auditorium at Aquinas. The presence of such a sizable support network truly shows how much each student is loved both in the classroom and on the field.
