SARAH CRECELIUS
Sarah "C" as she is known to many (because there was once a Sarah "R" on her team too), is one of the staple women of JFK. She has a background in soccer, which enables her to handle the ball with ease as she lays down some pretty sick bunts, and also with her speed- which gets her on base more often than not. I first met Sarah when we were on JFK together in Fall of 2010 and we were instant friends. Her smile, her friendliness, her humor- it's hard not to like her!This chick always seems to fly just under the radar when it comes to pointing out who the amazing women in this league are. She's had a huge impact on many games that JFK has won (including just squeaking out the win against Rumspringa in the semi-finals last fall). If you kick the ball toward her- she's going to catch it. If she bunts, don't think you'll have time to waste if you want to throw her out, and if she's flipping cups at the bar, they're flipped the first try. Is there anything this girl can't do?!
How many seasons have you played? Have you always been with JFK? What position do you play?I have been playing for 3 or 4 seasons, I can't remember how many brown-ish shirts I've had :).. I think it's 4. Always for JFK, and I usually play short left or second base.
A lot of teams have had roster changes, especially this last season. You've remained loyal to JFK despite interest from other teams... I think your loyalty is refreshing, but is there a particular reason why you don't want to switch it up?
I have stayed loyal to JFK, because I like the team and there hasn't been a reason to leave yet. I like the people and I think they have the right idea. Kickball Wednesdays, at the stadium, are meant to be fun, meet new people and get together with friends while enjoying the sport of kickball! After all I gotta rep where I'm from!! ... Kickball was invented in 1917 by Nicholas C. Seuss; Supervisor of Cincinnati Park Playgrounds in Cincinnati, OHIO. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickball). I also feel like I don't have to switch teams to meet new people, although that is a great way. We are lucky enough that a majority of players frequent the bar! (and as I have realized I will not remember names, but faces I've got! :))
So is it safe to say that you love Ohio State as much as Ashlee Gitkos loves Oklahoma?
I am a college sport fan for THE Ohio State University, and that's the name of it, look it up :) It's a shame some fans/students don't even pronounce the name of their schools right, there are other THE schools FYI, and I'm not hate'n :). Although this year will not be our best, I'll stick with the Bucks through thick and thin, Pride is a good thing!
I love that whenever I go to Luckies I know I'm going to see you there! Between
flip-cup, dancing and taking shots- there's never a dull moment. Any favorite memories for you?Meeting great friends, that I now have in and outside of kickball. Umm, every week at the bar. Making it to the tournament finals once, twice, nope three times without winning ;) I have so many but of course none are coming to mind.. WAIT, JUMP ON IT!!! how could I forget. For those who don't know... Sarah's favorite song at the bar is JUMP ON IT!!- Apache
Some people play to hang out with their friends, other people (like me) play to make new friends.. What is your favorite part about kickball? What keeps you coming back season after season?
My favorite part about kickball is that it is something to look forward to every Wednesday, it's a break from work!! Time to be around friends, which I love! It's a family! This is also the reason I come back!
I couldn't agree more! Anything else you'd like to add?
Parting words... Kickball wouldn't be what it is without every single one of those people showing up each week! They make it what it is, and I thank everyone for the great times!
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT SARAH
"Sarah has always added a great dynamic to an already awesome group of people. The thing about her is that she appears quiet and innocent, but when you get her out to the bar, the party animal emerges. We love having such great contrast and diversity on our team, especially with the team we have this season, and Sarah definitely helps to highlight that. Oh, and she's pretty good at kickball, as well."- Andrew Swenck, JFK
"Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots! Shots!"- Jimmy Wilcox, VD
"Sarah has the unique ability to stay under the radar but somehow still be the life of a party. Waka Wednesdays are always awesome but the times that really stand out: where the games were great and the bar was absolutely rockin, she's always been right in the middle."- Brian Yohn, Rumspringa(aaaaa)
"I love her, I love her, I love her! Sarah's incredible and she's one of the best friends I've made while playing kickball. It's her, and people like her, that keep me playing in Hampton when I live in Virginia Beach!"- Noelle Walsh, VD
