EARLY COMMITMENT — TO OFFICIATING
Christa Hill personifies Tennessee’s commitment to
growing the third team on the field BY PAUL KROME
Christa Hill has experienced much in her relatively brief lacrosse career. As an eighth grader in Richmond, Va., she stepped into the sport as a goalie to help her younger sister’s community team. As an attacker at Farragut (Tenn.) High School, she helped the Admirals to a 6-2 start this season after a 10-9 campaign a year ago. As a senior, she signed a national letter of intent in December to play at NCAA Division II Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., next year. And as a daughter, two years ago she accepted her father’s challenge to join him in the East Tennessee Women’s Lacrosse Offi cials Association. “He said, ‘You can do this with me,’” Hill said. “I thought it’d be cool. After the
fi rst couple games, I loved it. It kept me involved.” But if not for support from US Lacrosse chapters, critical growth of offi cials’ ranks like Hill’s addition to ETWLOA may not happen as frequently.
