Christian Fanning of Eastern Washington
Football is as competitive as the next player, but he is always willing to help
out a teammate. Even if the teammate is a girl.
As a star kicker on the Cathedral Catholic
High School Football team, Christian Fanning of Eastern Washington Football led
the team to a 12-1 season as a junior, the same year he was named a San Diego
Section Player of the Week. As a senior he kicked a fifty-one yard field goal,
his longest that season, and also made three-pointers from forty-five and
forty-three yards.
A player named Dana Dalton broke new ground
when she became the first female player to join the Cathedral Catholic football
team. She was already a soccer star, and the Cathedral Catholic football
players said she they were impressed with her kicking ability. When asked, she
said her family was giving her a lot of support as she began playing football,
then added, "Christian Fanning [has] been helping me a lot, too."
Today, Christian Fanning of EasternWashington Football is vying for a starting spot on the Eastern Washington
University Eagles. He is entering his second year with the team. The Eagles
have won two straight Big Sky Conference titles and been to two consecutive
appearances in the FCS semifinals. Football analysts are already picking the
Eagles to do it again, and Christian Fanning of Eastern Washington Football is
confident he can make a significant contribution to the team's fortunes.
"I like competition," he says, "and thrive when under
pressure."
