For 20 student-athletes at Lincoln-Way North High School, April 18, 2012, will hold a special place in their hearts.

Phoenix playmaker Rita Craven hopes to crack the Crusaders' starting lineup as a freshman, plans to study pre-med and work as a physician's assistant.
The theme for the college signing-day ceremony Thursday afternoon at Lincoln-Way North played out like one of the two songs performed by Chelsa King in the 2007 theatrical motion picture, Bratz. “It’s All About Me.” Only Lincoln-Way North’s Rita Craven was “All About Us” as the leader of a Phoenix girls soccer team that posted a 17-7-1 record last spring, won its second straight conference championship and second consecutive regional crown. Craven announced her plans to attend Valparaiso University, posed for photographs with her mother Carla and her coaches at Lincoln-Way North, Mike Murphy and Karen Iliff, and detailed her plans for the future. An honors student (4.167 GPA) who ranks 32nd in a class of 430, she plans to study pre-med at …
