Heather Seitz is a freshman from Hampton who attends Pitt-Greensburg. She also is an international fly fishing competitor.
A University of Pittsburgh freshman, Heather Seitz chooses to attend classes at both the Oakland and Greensburg campuses.
To most students, the Oakland campus has more to offer. But for Ms. Seitz, 19, trips to Westmoreland County present an opportunity that Oakland does not -- good fly fishing.
Ms. Seitz, who competes in international fly fishing events, drives 45 minutes from her home in Hampton to classes at Pitt-Greensburg.
While making her course schedule, she allotted herself about a three-hour break so she could venture to Laurel Hill Creek and other well-stocked waterways fairly close to the campus.
That is an indication of the passion Ms. Seitz has for fly fishing. Not only does she go into the water whenever possible, she spends a lot of time talking about the sport and promoting it at presentations throughout Western Pennsylvania.
"Her first passion is fly fishing. Her second passion is sharing it," said her father, Bob Seitz, who got her started in fishing when she was 4, but admits her capabilities have far surpassed his.
She had given presentations in Upper St. Clair and Cheswick before appearing at Oakmont Presbyterian Church last week, speaking to an audience of various ages.
...Her love of fly fishing is about to take her even farther. She is the captain of the Number 2 Junior World Fly Fishing Team, which will compete in Penacova, Portugal, on Aug. 9.
