Hello, my name is Claire Boynton, and I bring a unique perspective as an American student living overseas. I attend Ramstein High School on Ramstein Air Base in Germany and will graduate in 2025. My soccer journey began at the age of five in Germany, where technical skills are foundational to instruction. This early development, combined with my speed, strength, soccer IQ, and playmaking ability, has shaped me into a dynamic and versatile player. Whether as a Winger, Forward, or CAM, I thrive in high-pressure moments and am dangerous in nearly every position on the pitch.
As the 2025 Stars and Stripes DODEA Europe Soccer Athlete of the Year and High School Team Captain, I have led my team to back-to-back undefeated championships in 2024 and 2025—a testament to my leadership, resilience, and commitment to excellence. My consistency in front of goal is reflected in my Golden Boot awards (25 goals in 2024, 18 in 2025), proving my ability to impact games at the highest level.
Beyond high school competition, I have tested myself against elite players across Europe and the U.S. In Germany, I played for FFC Kaiserslautern in the U17 Bundesliga and was part of the 2023 ODP Europe Pool, earning selection for the 2024 ODP Summer ID event in the U.S. My experience with ODP in Texas, coupled with competing in ECNL and Girls Academy League club schedules, has shaped me into a technically sharp, adaptable, and battle-tested athlete.
Academically, I bring the same dedication. With a 3.77 GPA, I challenge myself in Honors and AP courses, ensuring my education matches the intensity of my athletic career. I am a proud member of the National Honor Society and actively engage in my community. In 2024, I established and led a tutoring program on Ramstein Air Base, connecting high school mentors with elementary students—an initiative that speaks to my leadership beyond the field.
Living overseas has broadened my worldview, exposing me to different cultures and perspectives that shape my character and ambitions. While my path differs from many U.S. recruits, I believe it has prepared me to be adaptable, resilient, and ready to excel in collegiate athletics and academics. As I look ahead, I am focused on universities with strong academic programs in engineering, architecture, or business, seeking a team that values both athletic and personal growth.
I am eager to bring my work ethic, leadership, and winning mentality to a collegiate program that challenges me both on and off the field. I look forward to making an impact and proving that I am ready for the next level.
