Sarah played ten years of club soccer and was fortunate to make the Florida Olympic Development Program. Sarah was well on her on way to achieving that long sought after Division One scholarship offer. Tragically, just one day before Sarah was to travel to college showcase tournament where she hoped to be seen be several D1 schools that she had been in contact with, she died following a cardiac arrest suffered at a track practice two days prior.
Sarah not only loved soccer, she loved life. She drew her strength from her faith. She was a straight A student in an International Baccalaureate program in Gainesville, was active in her church and several charities, and was known for infectious smile. Sarah touched many lives during her brief seventeen and half years and will forever be an encouragement to those that knew her.
To honor Sarah, Sarah’s family has established an endowment at the University of Florida that will provide academic scholarships for the women’s soccer program. To contribute to the Sarah Landauer Memorial Soccer Endowment, please see the instructions on the “How to Contribute” page, or click “How to Contribute”. Thank you for helping us to remember Sarah’s legacy and supporting the UF soccer program Sarah admired for thirteen years while honing her skills of the game she loved to play.
