Kelly Fitts-Ferreira was an outstanding 3 season/4 sport athlete having earned a varsity letter in each of the 3 seasons from her freshman through senior years.
In the fall Kelly excelled on the soccer field. As captain of the team, she was a two time South Coast Conference All Star. In her senior year she set the FHS single season scoring mark with 35 goals and 11 assists making her the leading scorer in the South Coast conference and 5th leading scorer in the state. She was also chosen as the Standard Times Player of the Year honoring the area’s best player.
Winter moved Kelly indoors where she was captain of the basketball team. In her junior year she switched to indoor track to facilitate the rehab from knee surgery and earned her varsity letter that year before moving back to the hardwood for her senior season.
Kelly’s most prolific season was spring. After lettering her first two seasons with the softball team, she may have made her best move ever by switching to outdoor track. She was the area’s best in the Javelin for two years. In her senior season she was South Coast Conference Champion, won first place at the State Coaches Meet, was State Class D Champion, and placed third in the State Meet. She was awarded Best Female Athlete of the SCC Meet and was named to the Standard Times Super Track Team.
Kelly continued her athletic career in college at UMD where she played soccer and threw the javelin. She competed at Nationals three times in the Javelin and was inducted into the UMD Hall of Fame.
Having received her degree in Finance from UMD with a 4.0 GPA, Kelly currently works as a Finance & Accounting manager and lives in Fairhaven with her husband, Shaun, and her two daughters, Sophie and Blair.
