Senior Spotlight: Henry Albert
As Wells College puts a close to its fall 2020 season, the athletics department spotlights its fall student-athletes during Senior Week. Today, the athletics department is proud to feature from the men's soccer team, Henry Albert.
Henry is a business major from Lake Placid, N.Y., who is in his first season with the men's soccer team. Berk also participates on the men's swimming team.
Wells men's soccer head coach Jim McIntyre had the following to say about Berk, "He joined the program last spring; we didn't have the opportunity to play this fall. Berk was quickly welcomed into the team and adapted to the training and playing style. He is a strong, hardworking attacker that I would have enjoyed watching him play in a game, just like I enjoy every training session he is part of. Whatever future is ahead of Berk I know he will conquer it. Best of luck, 'Get your running done'."
