Editor’s note: Kennett High seniors Sylvie Brustin, Santiago Ciro, Liz Cote Eva Drummond, Riley Fletcher, Hannah Frittenburg, Sophie Killeen, Trevor LaRusso, Natalie Shaw and Zach Smith, who all plan to play sports in college, recently took part in a Zoom chat in which they talked about what led to their decisions and they also offer advice to other student-athletes who might aspire to play in college. The Sun has highlighted these Eagles over the past few weeks.
Eva Drummond is wrapping up four years at Kennett High School as one of those rare athletes to not only play three sports all four years, but she also excelled in field hockey, alpine skiing and track and field for the Eagles. She is a three-time All-State selection in field hockey, and for the past two years was regarded as the top defensive player in Division II.
