Coach Tammy Wills Quote:

“Rhett is a senior and has served as out team captain for two years.  Usually the team captains only serve as captain for one year, but Rhett has been the exception [because] he is a natural leader, a super hard worker and he is great at keeping the team motivated.”

“Rhett has organized runs and other activities for the team over the summer and in the off season to help keep them training.  He is a great role model for the younger athletes, always offering words of encouragement and ideas for improvement.”
