20 of Broadneck's Top Athletes Sign College Commitments

Some of the brightest athletic stars in Broadneck all sat in a row on Thursday with their parents and friends to formally sign commitments to colleges in the fall.

Posed with their favorite sports equipment along a table long enough to accommodate the 20 athletes, the top talent of the high school swapped stories and shared their hopes for their next big move—to college.

Athletics Director Ken Kazmerak said this was a historic occasion. The group of students assembled to sign their commitment letters was the largest he could remember. Last year the school hosted a similar ceremony with four students.

Patch interviewed Broadneck's star kicker Adam Greene, softball shortstop sensation Kristina Dillard, and lacrosse goalie Natalee Eastom. Videos of these interviews will be posted throughout the week.
