Faces at the Pitch

Shannon Kuechenmeister
Shannon Kuechenmeister is starting her rookie season out strong as a full forward on Silver Spring House! She found the club through her boyfriend, Cristian Varelas, and was so excited that she brought her brother in with her! Her favorite things about Milwaukee are the local shops and products, a change from the stream of hurlers talking about the lakefront festivals, but she’s a bit of a homebody the rest of the time. Shannon cites Netflix and “Olympic Nap-Taking” as hobbies off the pitch. The highlight of hurling career so far is something each of us can learn from: all the advice that she gets from the rest of the club, which she thinks has helped her more than anything else!
