Our Wildwood, Winter 2019, Volume 44

FEATURE by Herb Higginbotham, Wildwood Parent

Two Athletes, Three Sports

T hey met in the most Wildwood way: trying something new. Lexi K. ’20 wanted to play a sport other than soccer. Asha F. ’19 was new to the school and just wanted to be part of the athletics program. They met on the basketball court. Their bond began while playing girls varsity basketball—Lexi in 9th grade, Asha in 10th. Basketball was common ground for these two stellar athletes but not their areas of expertise. One is a soccer phenom, in cleats since age 5. The other is new to track and field. What they will leave behind at Wildwood is a legacy that reflects the foundation on which the athletics program is built, and together they set a new bar.
