Vicki Kavitsky (‘06)

Vicki Kavitsky (‘06) has always had a strong competitive spirit. This determination helped her reach her goals including becoming a highly decorated high school and college athlete. During her time at East, she was the starting shortstop for the varsity team all four years. Kavitsky was named First Team All-Conference Group IV and All-South Jersey multiple times.

The lessons that Kavitsky learned from Coach Charlie Musumeci at East helped guide her to be successful in all areas of her life.

“Coach Muss was one of a kind. Who else would take a softball team to Disney World not once but twice just for a couple games? He was so loving and would do anything for us. All he wanted was for us to be happy . . . . he wanted us to succeed in every aspect of life, school, softball, and anything we participated in. It was an honor to get to know him and play for him,” said Kavitsky.

At Stony Brook University, Kavitsky continued her softball career as a four year starter at shortstop, where she led the team to their first American East Conference Championship in 2008. Kavitsky holds records at Stony Brook for runs and stolen bases. She was also a player on several All-Conference teams and achieved many other athletic honors and awards. 

Today, Kavitsky is an Associate for the American Red Cross Rare Donor Program where she helps match patients with rare blood types to donors throughout the United States.
