Character

Ross has the ability to be one of the most competitive people on the field, but also one of the nicest. She is extremely talented and commited, but never relies on her talent to get her where she wants to go. These attributes allow her to be successful in every aspect of her life.

She has been able to garner the respect and appreciation of her teammates on the field because of her attributes. They see that she is willing to do everything she asks of others. This respect has resulted in a two years of being on the team’s leadership group, as well as the weekly captain’s vote.

Ross is humble and selfless, always putting the team’s success first. Her impact on the program will be felt for years.
