“I would absolutely love to see other Black schools start lacrosse teams,” says Hannett. “Diversity is needed in the sport, and all are welcome to play.”
As for Farmer, Kenwood’s sensational star has ambitions to enroll at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign next fall and join their club team. “I’ve always just been someone who loves feeling progress in the things I do,” says Farmer. “Lacrosse provides me with some very tangible feelings of progress, and it just feels good to get better. In addition to wanting to get better just because I like being good at things, lacrosse has also become a very meditative practice for me. It helps me clear my head and feel more clear overall, and I love that.
