COVINGTON, Ky. — The Covington Latin Soccer team had the best season in school history last fall and goalie Frances Geiger was a big part of it. She says the season was memorable.

"Being undefeated was the coolest thing (& laughs). It’s really awesome that I got to be a part of that. And I got to be captain! That’s even bigger. I still can’t believe it."

According to her soccer coach, Scott Syfert, Geiger's leadership skills played a big part in the team's success. 

"She builds other people up and encourages them. That really stands out. It’s moving to see how she’ll take younger players under her wing and encourages them. Great approach.

Geiger has a great approach to the classroom, earning a 4.3 GPA and serving as the president of the National Honor Society. Geiger says he wants to always dispel stereotypes.

"When I first came, people called me the dumb blonde cause I played sports and I wasn’t the brainiac genius. I worked really hard in school and I ended up being 5th place in my class and that was like a really big moment for me because it proved I could do something if I worked really hard for it."

The Dean of Students, Matt Krebs says Geiger now passes that lesson on to others. 

"She draws others to her. Wow. Tremendous to have that in the building. Such a role model for younger kids. I know a lot of people who are kind of in the same situation as I was, where people kind of judged them and weren’t thinking they could do stuff. I like to think when I encouraged them and put them in situations to help them, they did flourish."

Geiger says she wishes she had help but is proud to know she is helping others. 

"I had to do that for myself and it would’ve been really nice if somebody had been there to help me."

Geiger plans on studying biology in college and then on to becoming a dentist, something she's known she's wanted to do since she was very young. 

Krebs is all ready to supply her with her first patients. 

"I think she’ll make a great dentist. If she lives up here, I’ll send my kids to her! She wants to make a difference."
