Summit Senior Athlete Signs Letter Of Intent

SUMMIT, NJ - Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child senior Sara McKenna is headed to College of Holy Cross after signing an early National Letter of Intent to compete at the collegiate level last Wednesday.

The student-athletes officially signed letters of intent – or have become committed to the admissions process in the case of Ivy League institutions – during a ceremony involving members of the athletic department, faculty, staff, administration and parents.

McKenna will be playing lacrosse and officials noted McKenna recently concluded her varsity soccer season, helping to lead the team as a captain and starter to a Sectional Championship. Additionally, she started the skiing and snowboarding club, which runs annual trips throughout the winter, serves as the seventh-grade peer leader coordinator, volunteers with the Caring 4 Kids Club that works with the St. Peter’s Orphanage and coaches youth lacrosse.

Athletic Director Kelly Childs applauded the Royals, like Andersen, for being talented members of the Oak Knoll community on and off the playing surface.

“Many of you have been tremendous leaders on this campus and currently hold some of the highest leadership positions,” Childs said. “Others have spent countless hours doing community service and pursuing other passions. This is the true mark of a student-athlete and your commitment to each other and serving our greater community will help you greatly at the next level.”

Childs also thanked the parents, administrators, coaches, teammates and friends in attendance who have all supported and will continue to support athletic and personal endeavors.
