Emiline Biggin '20 Recruiting Profile

I am an athlete.   While I love playing all sports, field hockey has been my greatest passion since I was only eight years old.  I played with Carle Place's Long Island Field Hockey Association team for four years- all undefeated.  As a seventh grader, I earned MVP of the Middle School Team.  I earned a position on Carle Place High School's Junior Varsity team as an eighth grader and was chosen as captain of the Junior Varsity Team last year.  I was moved to the varsity roster for the remainder of the 2016 season.  We finished first place in our Conference and won the Nassau County 2016 Class C and the Long Island Championships.  This season, my Carle Place team captured the 2017 Nassau County Class C title, Long and Regional Championships.  We won the New York State semi-final game, but lost a well-fought battle in the finals 1-0. 

My field hockey club training started with Strong Island Field Hockey as a sixth grader, then joined Strong Island's indoor league in 2014.  After completing only one season of training with USA Field Hockey's U14 Futures Program, I qualified for a Region 4 spot at Nationals as a forward.  Competing at Nationals was one of the most amazing experiences and greatest privileges in my life so far.   Last winter, Strong Island Huskies premier indoor team qualified for NITs, where I scored 3 goals and had 3 assists.  I also trained with the Futures program last January at the Region 4 Level 1 training site and I will continue my Level 1 training through 2018.

In addition,  I earned a spot on the Varsity Lacrosse team as a ninth grader.  I played both offense and defense.  My team won the Nassau County Class D Championship.  I am, indeed, very fortunate to be a part of a strong athletic program in Carle Place High School.

Athletics have helped mold me into the person I am today.  Participating in sports has given me the self-confidence and determination to excel in academics.  Being an athlete has enabled me to develop strong friendships with my teammates.  Most of all, I have developed respect for my coaches as their constructive criticism only makes me a better player.  Besides earning another spot at Nationals, my greatest aspiration is to play field hockey in college while pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice.
