Varsity Q&A: Ukrainian native Myroslav Biliaiev has found a home with C. Milton Wright boys soccer
Myroslav Biliaiev is starting to settle into Harford County. Just a couple years ago, his life was wildly different.
A Ukraine native, his hometown became unsafe when Russia attacked the country in February 2022. Biliaiev said his home was just 60 miles from some of the fighting. His family knew they had to leave. Biliaiev, his mother and father departed for the United States, while his older brother stayed behind and joined the Ukrainian military.
He’s since found a home at C. Milton Wright High School and the Mustangs’ boys soccer team. They’ll play Saturday at home for a chance to advance to the state semifinal and cap Biliaiev’s senior year with the coveted trophy. But for him, soccer has provided more than victorious feelings. It’s given him a sense of home and belonging amid so many changes.
