Latin School Student Named High School Field Hockey Player of the Year

The Illinois High School Field Hockey Association has named Latin School senior Carrie Holst High School Player of the Year.

Holst, 17, of the Streeterville neighborhood, plays center midfield and is team captain for the Latin Romans. She is the Romans' top scorer with 17 goals so far this season and the team's leader in assists. Holst has been chosen for the Illinois Field Hockey All-Academic Team and the All-Conference Team during all four years of high school. She has been selected for All-State during the last three years.

"Carrie is one of the hardest working athletes I have ever coached," said Latin varsity field hockey coach Molly Arnolds." She plays a very quick highly developed stick work game."
Outside of school, Holst has participated in the National Futures Program and for the last two years has played on the Windy City Flyers Blue Team.

In addition to being among Latin's top female athletes, Holst is a straight A student in the top three percent of her class. She intends to play Hockey in college and is being sought out by several elite schools.

This season the Latin Romans won the Independent Schools League championship and have a 11-4 record overall.
