Jacobs: Former St. Charles North girls soccer player Barr relishes balance at Northwestern
Finding the perfect spot on and off the soccer field has not been easy for KK Barr of St. Charles, but the Northwestern University sophomore keeps making successful transitions.
Take, for example, the adjustment of being called KK instead of her given name, Kaitlin. She has her younger (by 15 months) brother Quint to thank for that.
“When he first started to talk, he couldn’t say Kaitlin,” Barr explains. “It came out KK, and for some reason it stuck.”
