Three Sport Athlete

Kerri is a stand-out student-athlete in three sports for the Raiders: field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse.

A Raider Family

Kerri’s mother, Mrs. Lisa Finneran, is a school counselor at Central Catholic, and her father, Robert Finneran '88, played Raider football and went on to win a national title with Ithaca College Football.

Her three older brothers also excelled as Raider student-athletes, leading the Raider Boys Lacrosse Team to a sectional title in 2019. Her brother Ryan Finneran '19 played lacrosse at Saint Anselm College, and her twin brothers Connor Finneran '20 and Michael Finneran '20 are both playing lacrosse at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

Three of her uncles have been inducted into Central Catholic’s Athletic Hall of Fame: Brendan Finneran '93, Edward “Ned” Finneran '96, and Sean P. Finneran '91.

And her other two uncles are also Raiders: Neil Finneran '97 and Thomas A. Finneran '85, as well as two cousins: Caitlin A. Finneran '21 and Sean Finneran '23.

Congratulations, Kerri! We're excited to see what you accomplish next!
