WWAY Student Athlete of the Week: Claire Furmidge

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Our WWAY Student Athlete of the Week comes from Cape Fear Academy where she is accomplishing things at a very young age.

15-year-old Claire Furmidge is a freshman on Cape Fear Academy’s girls soccer team. On the field, she certainly has been taking care of business with 17 goals and 9 assists so far this season. She has been a pivotal part in the teams 18-1 record this season with playoffs currently underway. Furmidge also takes academics seriously and her favorite subject is math. When it comes to handling life on and off the field, Furmidge said one tip can really help.

“I would just make sure you don’t procrastinate. Just make sure you have a good balance and you don’t play too much and burn yourself out.”

Furmidge hopes to play soccer at the collegiate level once she finishes high school. You can nominate the next WWAY Student Athlete of the Week here.
