Sporty, smart, and dependable, Senior Luke Hanuska does it all. Luke shines in the large goal of Westmont’s soccer team and off the field in Arrowbotics, Physics, and Engineering clubs. Growing up, Luke starred in soccer, baseball, and swim, but committed fully to soccer in high school. Balancing countless practices and his heavy school workload, he still manages to lead and motivate his peers and teammates. Luke spends his free time writing code and making delicious breakfasts for his family. Out of school, he plays for De Anza Force. This winter season will mark Luke’s fourth year as a varsity goalie and his first as captain.
