Caitlyn Pender

On the outside, Caitlin Pender is intimidating, sarcastic, and a little pessimistic, but hidden inside is an athletic, smart, and laugh-out-loud type of girl. The entire campus can hear Mr. Jurczak yell “PENDER!” when this four-year varsity water polo player makes a splash in the pool. She also enjoys hanging with friends and annoying the coaches during swim season, despite her distaste for the sport itself. Caitlin made Webb her home and found guidance from her advisor Ms. Bauman and coach Mr. Jurczak, both of whom she will miss dearly next year. Caitlin will miss Unbounded Days adventures and squeezing in with all of her friends on Alivia Du (‘21)’s bed in South Hutch. Next year, Caitlin will live by the beach at UC Santa Cruz where she will study Human Biology on the pre-med track to become a nurse. If that plan does not work out, she will live on a boat with her 12 cats and study Marine Biology. Caitlin wants Webb to remember her 2019 Theme Nights performance where she dramatically entered the stage as Rose from Titanic on a “boat” with Ian Iglehart (‘20)’s arms around her in the famous “Titanic Pose.”
