Ava Ruff
Recruit Profile
Multi-sport athlete, driven on and off the field, coachable, supportive team-mate.
I began playing and fell in love with lacrosse in the 8th grade. I played JV lacrosse as a Freshman. I had been playing Field Hockey for 3 years but chose to focus on lacrosse and take more demanding academics while focusing on my time management. I was a Lacrosse Varsity starter my Sophomore year and also began playing T3 Elite Club Lacrosse. I've attended many Lacrosse clinics, strength and conditioning programs, as well as Summer and Winter Leagues. I'm proud to be the only Varsity Lacrosse and Varsity Swim Team athlete at my HS. I excel in the team environment, cheering on my teammates and taking pride in our collective efforts. I'm taking AP US History, AP English and dual credit Spanish 3 to challenge myself academically.
I'm active in my community and volunteer for several organizations: Interact Club, Key Club, Lighthouse Film Festival, Jetty Rock Foundation and am the Community Liasion for our annual Bridge Walk, which I created and is now in its 10th year. I make the time to enjoy time with my family and friends. One of the gifts in my life has been the travel experience. Having visited over 15 countries, I view the world through a different lens with each trip. I work every day to achieve a healthy academic, athletic and social balance. I've always been told I was a natural leader and was honored to be chosen for the Rotary Youth Leadership Award Program, attending a week-long program in my Sophomore Summer. I was selected and trained as a Rotary Youth Leader Support Counselor for the Summer 2019 Camp.
Playing lacrosse has allowed me to become a better leader, push myself physically, expose me to life lessons on and off the field, and always makes me strive to be the best version of myself. I've had great coaches and the support of upperclassmen who saw my potential. I continue to work very hard to prove them right. I'm grateful every time I walk out on the field for the chance to improve my game, make lasting friendships and most importantly to have fun playing a game I love. I look forward to playing in College; meeting new teammates and working together to give our best.
