Lisa Qiu '16
Hometown: New York, NY
Jersey #: 0
Spirit Animal: Polar Bear
Lisa Qiu (New York, NY) is a mad baller who needs no introduction. Qiu is our number 0. Lucky number 0. Perhaps this is where we shall begin in our deconstruction of Qiu’s role on the team, and perhaps even her personhood itself. Zero is nothingness, it is the lack of something, the lack of everything. Truly, Qiu embodies nothingness on the field. The stall nine, perfect hammer to the back left corner of the end zone? Milk and cookies. The universe point footblock on their end zone? New Buffet (next to the co-op, go there more!) for lunch. Qiu’s nothingness, however, is not emptiness, and with this rhetorical “lack,” she is the turtle that hugs the team, the polar bear that keeps us together, through the good, the bad, and the track practices. What is empty is full, and what is nothing is everything. Qiu is truly a hero amongst us.
