Athlete Profile: Caylee Waters

By Bailey Swiggett

Senior Caylee Waters has been the starting goalie for Darien’s Varsity Girl’s Lacrosse Team all four years of her high school career.  She started playing lacrosse in 6th grade and made the switch to goalie in 7th grade. When asked how she chose the position of goalie Caylee said, “I became goalie in 7th grade after Mr. Hardison and other coaches persuaded me to take a try at it.”
When asked how her lacrosse career has been Caylee said, “Awesome! I’ve had a great experiences, there's been some ups and downs with wins and losses but overall I’ve enjoyed playing for the Darien”
The girls are off to a great start with an 8-1 record. “I think this has been our best season yet in my past three years, we’ve only had one loss to Garden City and we just came off of the big win from New Canaan which is huge and we are looking forward to continuing this momentum in order to win FCIAC and states.”
Next year Caylee will be playing goalie at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Caylee said that her expectations for the next year are, “to have a great time and make the best out of this opportunity as a Tar Heel!”  

Come watch Waters in action at the team's next scheduled home game tomorrow at 4 p.m. vs. Trumbull.
