• From Milton to the world stage: Carrasquillo's lacrosse run (appenmedia.com) — Milton High alum Bri Carrasquillo, who once came home to Alpharetta after a diabetes diagnosis cut short her freshman season at Yale, has since turned that setback into fuel for an international lacrosse career. She's now captaining Puerto Rico's national team, coaching young local players, and building a tech sales career while advocating for others managing Type 1 diabetes.
