My name is Alyssa Nilles. I started playing lacrosse at age 13. I am a rising junior in high school and I currently play lacrosse on the True 2021 State team, coached by Kirk Lamitie. I also played on the Maine South varsity team as a freshman and sophomore, coached by Colleen Speth and Paige Comito. As a sophomore I won the CSL conference sportsmanship award for my team. I am currently a defensive midfielder, but I am working hard to become a strong two-way middie. I am a multi sport athlete and ran cross country on the JV team as a freshman and on the varsity team as a sophomore, where I was named MVP. I also used to play travel soccer and basketball. During the winter I run indoor track and field. My normal events are the 400 yard dash, triple jump, long jump, and the 50 yard sprint. Along with athletics, I strongly value my education. I currently have a 4.0 weighted GPA and am an honor roll student. I am very involved in my school, my favorite club is called Hawk Pals. This club gives me the opportunity to not only work with, but create a bond with mentally/physically disabled and autistic teenagers.
