FP: You're from the great state of Vermont, which is known for its cheddar cheese, do you enjoy cheddar cheese?
Shannon: Very much so, cheese is one of my favorite foods.
FP: I enjoy cheese very much too. Do you have any other favorite foods?
Shannon: I really like tootsie pops (the blue kind), dill pickles and macaroni soup.
FP: You're a two sport athlete at USM, who got you started with athletics?
Shannon: Well, when I was in about the second grade I started doing recreation sports in my hometown. I played pretty much all of them when I was little, then I ended up sticking with basketball and softball in middle school and high school.
FP: How come you didn't play softball at USM?
Shannon: I was coming off of a really intense basketball season, and I didn't think I could do it again for softball. I know they play a ton of games in their season. When my junior year rolled around Sue Frost asked if I would be interested in playing lacrosse. I knew that it wasn't as many games and I could be flexible with it, so I figured why not?
FP: I love that kind of spontaneity, what do you enjoy about lacrosse?
Shannon: I really enjoy my teammates, and not having it be as stressful and intense as basketball. It's always been fun for me.
FP: You're due to graduate in a couple of weeks, what are some of the things you're going to miss about USM?
Shannon: A lot of things. USM has been really good to me. I think I'm going to miss walking around campus and seeing people, definitely going to miss athletics, and being involved. I always had things to do here, and things going on. It'll be weird to not have that.
FP: You're pretty well known on campus, but is there anything you want the rest of USM to know about Shannon Kynoch?
Shannon: I think if you know me, you know me and I don't really hide too much. I'm always looking for a good time with good people. I've heard that because I'm six feet tall people are intimidated by me but there's absolutely no need for that, I am the biggest pansy in the league!!
