Black Ice in Action
Maryland Black Ice Alumna, Sarah Calta, was introduced as a member of The Terrapin Club’s 30 Under 30 program for 2020. The 30 Under 30 program recognizes University of Maryland alumni under the age of 30 for their achievements, and impact on their profession.
"It was an honor to receive the 30 under 30 award from the Terrapin Club this year! It was cool to get recognized for my professional life. When I was going to college at the University of Maryland academics was important to me. At that time I knew I wanted to go to Chiropractic school, I took it seriously."
12U
Sarah is currently working on her Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University in Georgia after graduating from the University of Maryland in 2017 with a Kinesiology degree.
Keith Calta heads a Maryland Black Ice softball program that has produced numerous college all-conference athletes and sees a great future for Sydney at BCU. "Sydney is well deserving of this opportunity to play at Bethune-Cookman. She's been a leader on our team, always helping her teammates. She is one of the best athletes to come through the Black Ice organization. She will be playing against some of the best teams in the country. On behalf of our organization, I'd like to wish Sydney and her family the very best."
"Without my playing experience with the Maryland Black Ice. I would have never had the opportunity to play Softball at the University of Maryland. Softball taught me a good work ethic, perseverance, and determination. All qualities that I will need when I open my own business. I am blessed for the experiences I have gotten because I know they will make me a better doctor to my patients."
