Caddo Magnet HS PTSA

Our last senior to highlight is our goalkeeper!

Naomi “Omi” McGuirk has been playing soccer since she was three years old. She made the varsity team at Magnet High as a sophomore and after a brief hiatus last year to explore other sports, came back her senior year as the starting goalkeeper. Omi’s talents aren’t limited to the soccer field though! She’s also excelled on the Varsity softball, swim, and powerlifting teams at Magnet.

Outside of sports, Omi has managed to maintain a 4.6 GPA while participating in Gifted and Advanced classes. She’s also been elected her class’s Vice President for four years. Her real passion, though, is film production, and she showed off those skills last year when she won first place in the Louisiana History Day state competition, with her amazing documentary on Sam Cooke. Omi’s also been a SkillsUSA officer at Caddo Career and Technology Center for the past two years. She competed in the state SkillsUSA competition last year, where she won another first place honor – this time in Advertising Design.

When she’s not studying, practicing, competing, or creating, she’s working as an assistant swim coach or babysitting. Omi has been accepted to numerous colleges already and is trying to narrow down her options. Wherever she goes, she plans to study journalism and is sure to do amazing things with all of her incredible talents.

Our second Lady Mustangs senior to be highlighted is Carolina Resendez, one of our midfielders. Her mom shared some interesting facts about Carolina!

Our second Lady Mustangs senior to be highlighted is Carolina Resendez, one of our midfielders. Her mom shared some interesting facts about Carolina!

Carolina started her soccer journey right before her freshman year of high school. Before she started practicing with her middle school team during her 8th grade year, she had no experience in soccer. That didn’t stop her from trying out and making the team her freshman year! She’s been a dedicated Lady Mustang for the past four years and during that time, she’s grown tremendously in her technical abilities and soccer knowledge. Carolina is truly a well-rounded, hard-working young lady. She has maintained a 4.6 GPA while being involved in many extra-curricular activities and working part-time at Canes, where she was recently promoted to be a certified trainer.

Carolina is active both at CMHS (attending the French Literary Rally) and at Caddo Career and Technology Center, where she is enrolled in the Emergency Medical Responder class. Through CCTC, she earned her certification in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and is a licensed Emergency Medical Responder (EMR). Carolina also leads the CCTC campus as an officer for SkillsUSA. Carolina isn’t all work though! She is known for baking and sharing her famously delicious brownies! We are extremely lucky to have such a talented, smart, kind leader on our team.
