Samantha Seath-
Sam Seath possessed the enthusiasm, motivation and strength of leadership to be unanimously chosen to win this award. As a multi-sport athlete since middle school, she continued to make lacrosse a priority through high school and was chosen as a tri-captain her senior year. Sam was the conduit between the High School players and youth teams and could be counted on to help out whenever she was needed. She successfully organized pre-season conditioning programs for her team and lead them to the best record the Weston Girls Lacrosse Team has had to date. Her youth mission trips to Honduras and to Mississippi, as well as her involvement with ADAP sets an example to other players of the leadership and dedication it takes to be a WLC Merit Award winner. Sam is attending William Smith (Hobart) College in the fall where she has been invited to try out for lacrosse.
