This fall, Laura Hart will be attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. This spring, her designs have centered on winning games for the Verona High School softball team. For her fielding and hitting, Hart is the Verona Sports Boosters Senior Athlete of the Week.
Hart is a four-year starter on the softball team, with 13 hits and five RBIs to her credit this season. When Verona went up against Columbia High School on April 15, it was Hart’s triple and three RBIs that made the difference between a win and a loss: Verona edged past Columbia with a 9-8 victory. On Tuesday, Hart’s sharp-eyed plays at first and third kept the game against Montclair Kimberley Academy a dead heat into the final inning. An honor roll student, Hart has also been a four-year starter on the VHS girls soccer team.
During the 2012-2013 school year, the Verona Sports Boosters will be recognizing a different senior athlete at Verona High School every week. The Boosters support male and female athletes in all VHS sports through a variety of fundraisers and recognition events.
