The senior “stopper” (center defense) has been playing the sport for 10 years.
“I love the challenge of the game because you have to play physical and work together to succeed.” says Rodino. The Meteor team is having a successful season and currently has a 6-1 record.
Rodino keeps busy off the soccer field –working three part-time jobs; two in restaurants and one at a mechanic shop. He is also a Boy Scout working towards earning his Eagle Scout award.
In school, he participates in other in track, snowboarding in the Ski Club, Student Council, FBLA, Spirit Squad, Honors Club, and Varsity Club.
