The 1st Impressions Athlete of the Month is Wichita North soccer star, Elijah Harbin. As a senior Harbin is a captain for North and has helped lead the team to a 4-2 record. So far he has scored three goals and recorded one assist, but he’s expecting more of himself and his team.

“I’ve played okay, but I’m expecting to score more as the season goes on and do a better job of setting up my teammates. We’re still in the race for the city league so we’re just trying to make a run at that,” said Harbin.

Elijah takes his role as a captain and leader for his team seriously. “I just try to show them a good example,” said Harbin, “also just try to lead them in the best way possible so that they’ll trust me and also just be there for them.”

Harbin and his teammates still have big goals for the rest of the season, and they know what it will take to achieve them.

“We have to be better finishing scoring chances, defensively we have played really well, and we’ve moved the ball well we just need to finish our chances,” said Harbin.

Besides soccer Harbin says he also plans to compete in track this year. After high school he hopes to play soccer at the college level.
