Concord, Mass., a place of rich history and home to some of the
greatest minds in American history and literature. It is also the
hometown of senior tri-captain Kirsten Kester, who ranks
historically in Concord as a member of the Harvard women’s
hockey team and in literature as she continues work on her senior
thesis on bacterial symbionts living in hydrothermal vents. Ok, so
she has not written a book about it yet; but she definitely
personifies the term “student-athlete,” and what it is
to be a captain.
