'Selfless, Team-First, People-First': Wilton Star Student Athlete

WILTON, CT — We all know student athletes who also bring their A-game to other parts of their lives.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know the individual stories behind the leaderboard.

This submission comes from Fabiana VonLoeser who nominated her daughter Reagan of Wilton.

What sport does the star student athlete play?

Soccer

Why do you believe the star student athlete should be recognized?

She is truly a selfless, team-first, people-first soccer player and person. Reagan was recently recognized by the Wilton High School Athletic Director as Athlete of the Week for her selfless and extreme display of sportsmanship. She was playing in an extremely tough and competitive game against another high school when an opposing player fell to the ground with an agonizing cramp in her leg. Reagan stopped and went over to the player and began to stretch out her leg even though game play continued.

Reagan is also a 1st grade girls soccer coach, a member of the National Honor Society, a coach for Unified Sports, a coach for TOPSoccer, a coach for middle school girls basketball, a member of the Key Club and a member of the Saferides program in Wilton CT. She is also the co-owner of College Creamery, LLC, a student-run ice cream truck. Reagan has committed to play D2 soccer at Southern Connecticut State University starting in the Fall of 2023.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the star student athlete?

Above everything else, kindness is #1.

Keep up the great work, Reagan!
