Lauren Wiertel '21

Lauren Wiertel '21 has helped the Hawken field hockey team only give up 3 goals over the past 6 games. Her defensive prowess knows no limits, which makes her the team leader on the defense.  

"Lauren is a crucial member of the field hockey team. She plays sweeper and is an integral part of our offensive and defensive corner units. Her fast, timely takeaways as well as her tactical instructions to her defensive unit have been critical in our teams success," stated Coach Fuzzy Kishna.

Favorite Movie:  I have never been able to decide what my favorite movie is, but I have recently really liked the Avengers movies.
 
Favorite Hawken Subject/Class: Journalism Intensive/English
 
Favorite Spot in Cleveland:  My favorite spot in Cleveland is either the Botanical Gardens or West Side Market.
 
Favorite Athlete I look up to: The athlete I look up to most would probably be my dad. Although he doesn’t know much about field hockey, I look up to him when I am playing because he has taught me to stay positive and keep my team’s energy up. He played football into college and ended up coaching, and many of his teammates and players looked up to him for guidance and positivity. I try to bring these when I play so I can give the same thing to my teammates.
 
Favorite Hawken Athletic Memory:  My favorite Hawken memory was beating Hathaway Brown on Senior Night this year 2-1 and seeing the excitement in all of my teammates' faces when the final buzzer sounded.
 
What does Hawken Athletics mean to me?: Hawken Athletics has taught me many life lessons both on and off the field. Learning to commit myself to a sport and put in the work in order to succeed on the field has transitioned into my life off the field because I know that in order to see results, I have to put in the work.
