I started playing lacrosse in second grade. I either led the team in goals or was second in goals every year, even when I played long pole. I played midfield my entire career leading up to eighth grade until I switched to long stick middie. Going into high school I played defensive middie freshman year on varsity which taught me how to use my feet while playing defense. Going into my sophomore year I beat out a returning senior for a starting close defense spot. With my first year playing close defense I led all long poles in assists and goals and received 2nd Team All-Conference and Second Team All-League. The summer team I started to play for has only won one game before I joined. Now that I am there, we had a record of 16-5 in the summer while winning the Lake George Tournament. I also have been the varsity starting quarterback for my high school team since I was a sophomore, and and our team became state finalists my junior year, with a record of 10-2.
