Annapolis Capital Features Kerr

Yesterday's Annapolis Capital ran a nice feature story on recent Washington College grad, All-American lacrosse player, and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship recipient Tim Kerr.

Kerr reflects on his experience as a well-rounded student-athlete in the article:
"The whole time I was here, I tried to do as much as I could," said Kerr, who was a member of the school's student-athlete mentor council and alcohol advisory board. "I came here for school first. Lacrosse was just an added bonus and I am really fortunate that I was able to do all that I was."
