I am Claire Pruitt and I have been playing lacrosse for 9 years, starting in 1st grade. I have played on rec, school, and club teams where I met new people and learned new ways to play lacrosse. Starting in about 3rd grade, I started to focus on defense, where I have been working on my crease defense, sliding, and man-on-man defense. I have spent my past fall seasons since 7th grade playing volleyball for my school to stay active during my off season. As for extracurriculars, I participate in my schools Humanitarian Club, which directs canned food drives and other community services. I am also part of the Mini-THON leadership committee, which helps raise money for childhood cancer.
