I have been playing lacrosse since I was in 3rd grade. I was put on Junior Varsity as a defender my freshman year of high school. My coach brought me up to play with the Varsity team during sections. We went to state that year defeating our rivals in the section final game. I used this as motivation because I desired a Varsity starting position for my sophomore year. So I worked very hard during the offseason and I finally achieved my goal to become a Varsity starter. These were some big shoes to fill because our previous defenders that graduated had gone on to play high level college lacrosse. During the 2015 season we won our conference (IMAC) and our section which then led us onto the State Tournament for the second year in a row that I have been apart of the team. I go to The Blake School in downtown Minneapolis. I am on a rigorous academic schedule at Blake and want to continue my hard work ethic in the classroom throughout college and the rest of my high school career. My bigger picture goal is that I want to play college lacrosse at a high level. I am playing for Team Minnesota for my Rising Junior summer to have fun and play against high caliber talent which will hopefully help me achieve my goals and develop me as a player. I am looking forward to achieving my goals and becoming a terrific lacrosse player on and off the field.
