GET TO KNOW: Kaitlyn Rita

April 25, 2008 6:00 AM

School: Dartmouth

Year: Senior

Sport: Lacrosse

Position: Defensive wing

Noteworthy: Rita, a senior at Dartmouth High School, is a three-sport athlete and captain of the girls soccer, basketball, and lacrosse teams. She plans on studying Environmental Conservation Sciences at the University of New Hampshire next fall.

When did you take up lacrosse?

I never played lacrosse in my life before freshman year. A lot of my friends played. They all did the camps when they were younger. They loved it and told me I should tryout. I had never played, but they said I'd catch on easily.

What does a defensive wing do?

There can only be seven people on one side of the restraining line at once, so as a d-wing you're always back there. On offense, one defensive player can go up, so either d-wing or a defender goes and helps out there. It's a lot of running, but I manage.

What is it like being a captain?

It was weird in the beginning because you've always had captains before you, and you'd see how they'd run things. The most important thing in being a captain is keeping your team morale up, keeping things together. We just try to have as much fun as possible, don't let anyone get down on themselves, or worry about anything. We like to have fun.

Do you have a prom dress yet?

I have one in mind, but I haven't gotten around to ordering and getting it yet. I've got to do that soon. I found it online and had to research where it was sold, so I have to go to a store in either Fall River or New Bedford and order it from them. I'm excited I can't wait.

On the Fly

Favorite Musical Artist(s): O.A.R., Jack Johnson, Dispatch and Dave Matthews

Favorite Sporting Event Attended: New England Revolution with my spring soccer team. We had box seats and got to go down on the field with the players after the game.

Favorite Movie: The Goonies

Favorite TV Show: Grey's Anatomy

Favorite Pro Team: Patriots

Most Memorable Moment in Sports: Playing spring soccer I went up for a header against New Bedford and got this enormous black eye. I had it for about two weeks.

Biggest fear: Not being happy when I get older

Person living or dead you'd most like to meet: Eleanor Roosevelt

Place you'd most like to visit: Ireland or France

Jersey number: 19 for lacrosse, 10 for basketball and 7 for soccer.

Favorite subject: English or history

Sport that you don't play but would like to try: Hockey. It's a brutal sport. It would be so much fun, even though I can't skate at all.

Favorite Book: Harry Potter, and A Million Little Pieces

If your entire team was on Survivor, who wins?: Maggie Shoening. Maggie and I are very competitive people and she will do anything to win. She always works so hard at everything she does and she is also very smart so she'd have a good strategy.

How about American Idol?: Erica Baptiste. She has a good voice.
