3 of our 4 Section 3 alums (all but Kempney) are captains. You have to love that. I'm wondering if they end up as our 3rd midfield line together, providing an emotional spark to rally around when necessary.

Impressive of Krist to be named a Captain after just a single Fall Ball. The rumors of his character must not be exaggerated.

Some surprises to be honest, but I'm not sure who I was expecting before the announcement. Kol has really come out of nowhere for me, a backup defensemen last year, now a presumed starter and a Captain. As just a Redshirt Sophomore is even more impressive. On track to be a three time Captain - Peter Dearth is the only to do that and that was because of the Covid year.

Kirst is a leader and I said it a few times it's not just his ability on the field it's his leadership to. Such a huge addition to this team with so many young freshman having to play significant minutes. The most talented teams don't always win you need good character guys who work hard and Kirst is the perfect leader for these kids to follow. His leadership will change the culture and this team can beat more talented teams by outworking them and playing unselfish lacrosse. Kirst was captain of the USA team did whatever was asked of him. Then in crunch time he wasn't out there even his younger brother was yet he was yelling and jumping on guys when they beat Canada. I love kids like that and would take them over the most talented kid but don't have a heart like Kirst. I'm sure he proved his leadership in fall ball and they all love him

Brendan Curry was the 2nd 3-time captain, following Dearth, in program history last season.

So, Gait chooses the captains instead of the team voting?

Not sure I ever knew this. Certainly not earthshaking, just interesting.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the five young men that were elected captains by their teammates,” said head coach Gary Gait.

I was told this year's voting was not anonymous. Has this always been the case - i.e Desko, Simmons eras.
