Character

Prior to the 2016 season, Radin was named a team captain for the second consecutive year. At a banquet honoring the Marist men’s lacrosse team’s 2015 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship, he was chosen to wear the no. 34 jersey in honor of former Marist men’s lacrosse player Edward Coombs. The recipient of the jersey is the player who best represents Coombs’ outstanding qualities: passion, determination and energy and is a great teammate and member of the community. Radin has recently spoke about this honor and what it means to him.  One of five male finalists for the 2016 Yeardley Reynolds Love Unsung Hero Award.

Community

Radin has participated in campus events such as the Marist Hunger Walk, Marist Giving Tree and Marist Heart Walk. He helped incoming freshmen settle into their dorms on move-in day at the beginning of the Fall 2015 semester. That same semester, he participated in the One Love Foundation’s Escalation Workshop with his teammates. The workshop educated students about relationship violence and empowered them to work for change. He has worked at the Marist Wellness Fair for two years and participated in the Friends of Jaclyn Angel Walk in 2013. He will participate in Sportsmanship Day at the local Haviland Middle School for the second straight year. In memory of his former teammate, Radin helped set up and clean up at the Edward Taylor Coombs Foundation Fall Ball Shootout and participated in the organization’s annual flag football event. For the past two years Radin has served as an outstanding mentor to the youth lacrosse community through clinic and camp work that develops shooting, passing and other techniques. Radin led volunteer efforts at the Poughkeepsie Children’s Home during the fall semester, creating a calendar with the organization for the entire Marist men’s lacrosse team to make two-hour visits twice a week. During this 10-week period, Radin visited the home 16 times. Marist will be visiting the children every Friday this spring. The Poughkeepsie Children’s Home provides a range of services and programs giving hope and healing to abused and neglected children in the Hudson River region.
