I have been playing lacrosse since the third grade. My aunt was a high school varsity and travel lacrosse coach. She taught me about the game. After a year or so, she had me "play up" with her middle school travel team.
I was selected for my high school varsity team when I was in the eighth grade. Last year (my sophomore year), I played mostly midfield. I scored 25 goals, and had 10 assists, several draw controls, and many ground balls. This year will be my fourth on the team. I also play volleyball (school and travel) and run track. I ran sprints for track this winter, to improve my speed.
I practice stick work, shooting, and wall ball every day. I am comfortable feeding and shooting with both hands. I am strong at one-on-one defense. I have attended several lacrosse clinics hosted by Achieve Lax and Mass Elite Lacrosse. I have attended college lacrosse camps at UNC, Maryland, UMass-Amherst, Rutgers, William and Mary, UConn, Stonehill College, Wheaton College, and Babson College.
I have a 3.91 GPA (4.50 weighted), and I have made the honor roll every quarter in high school. I will be taking AP US History this fall. My favorite subject is History, and I also like Math and English. I volunteer as an altar server at my church, and as a camp counselor at Camp Mattakeesett in New Hampshire.
I would like to major in Architecture or Civil Engineering in college, and I would love to play lacrosse for a college team. I am a hard worker in the classroom and on the field in practices and games. I work every day to improve my skills, both academically and athletically.
I have a sister who plays softball for Wheaton College and majors in Economics. In the summer, she is an Assistant to the General Manager of the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League. I also have a brother who plays baseball for St. John's University and majors in Accounting. He is going to play in the NECBL next summer.
