Spring Sports Senior Spotlight – Maria Risner
Maria Risner – Track/Girls’ Varsity Soccer
Parents- Claudia and Randy Risner
Sports Played- I’ve played Women’s Varsity Soccer throughout 9th, 10th and 11th grade. I started my senior year running for the Women’s Track team with plans to run middle distance and as my field event participate in pole vault.
Awards- I have three Varsity Letter Awards in Soccer for each year I have played.
Other Activities- In school I was in our Leadership class as well as played the role of a Teachers Assistant. Outside of school, I am involved with The Town Hall Players.
Favorite High School Sports Memory: My favorite memory from playing high school soccer was making my first assist while being on the defensive line. I also enjoyed all of our team-bonding activities during each season. Another favorite of mine was every single co-ed soccer game I played with our varsity boys in the winter at Soccerzone.
Favorite Teacher- My favorite teacher is our previous Chemistry teacher Mrs. Szczembara because she has shown me so much support and has been there for me to celebrate my accomplishments.
Favorite TV Show- The Office and Steven Universe
Favorite Movie- The Book Thief (and it’s also my favorite book!)
After School Plans: After High School I am committed to attending Adrian College to Major in English paired with Secondary Teacher Education to become a High School English Teacher. I will possibly Double-Major in American/World Literature or Minor in Chemistry.
Thank You- Thank you to all of my teachers who have made an everlasting impact on me!
