1st American to Captain Trinity University

 Genevieve Ruesch, a DSHA class of 2017 alumni, recently completed her career and degree at Trinity University in Dublin, Ireland.   In addition to being a regular starter at scrumhalf at Trinity, the #9 with an incredible pass became the first American to captain the successful Irish university team.  While Ruesch was a heavily recruited high school player during her time at DSHA she chose to pursue her literary and educational goals oversees and was able to continue her successful rugby career at the same time.

The first picture below captures her the second time she became a National Champion, granted her most recent is in a different country.  Her first was with DSHA in 2017 when she led her team to victory over Kahuku HS at the Girls Single-School National Tournament.  Her university side pictured below recently won the National Irish Touch Championship.  It's an idea we hear she's interested in promoting in the States as well.
