TIAGO RIVERO
Sophomore, Marathon
Soccer
“Tiago has become an instant favorite on this team. He radiates positive vibes at every turn. He is a hard-working and extremely gifted athlete, a kind and supportive person, and a stellar example of what a student-athlete should be on and off the field.” – Shannon Wiley, Marathon head coach
In Marathon’s Dec. 1 match against cross-county rivals Coral Shores, Dolphin goalkeeper Tiago Rivero made it very clear that his team was not to be taken lightly. The tied match could have been a completely different story had Rivero not endured a peppering of 37 shots on goal, allowing just one ball to cross the goal line.
Rivero’s presence on the field is intimidating to teams and inspiring to his own. “The players and I love and respect him as he proves, time and again, what a keystone player is as our starting goalkeeper,” explained head coach Shannon Wiley.
For his incredible and acrobatic play in goal and supreme sportsmanship, Marathon’s Tiago Rivero is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
