I am Tyler Burton, a Defenseman out of Chanhassen Highschool in Minnesota. I began playing lacrosse at seven and have been playing Defense my entire life. As a Freshman at Chanhassen High School, my team and I were the first team in school history to make it past our Section into our first State Playoff Birth. In the Final Season rankings, we were ranked #2 overall out of the entire State. As a Sophomore at Chanhassen Highschool, I took on a new role this year. I earned the nickname "Swiss Army Knife" because I was all over the field, playing different positions. I played Defensive Midfield, Offensive Midfield, LSM, and Close Defense. I took on this role due to many injuries within our roster. I am a very versatile player, so stepping into this position worked well. We continued to make it out of our Section for the second time in school history and finished 5th place in the State. As for Club Teams, I am playing at an extremely high level. I currently play for 2 top 40 teams in the Nation, which are True Minnesota AAA and True National Green. Both teams had an incredibly successful summer in 2021, and we are expecting an even bigger one this upcoming 2022 summer. As for academics, I hold myself to a very high standard. I took AP US History and Excelled English Class while maintaining a Cumulative, Unweighted GPA of 3.82 throughout my Freshman and Sophomore year. Upholding this GPA allowed me to be on the High Honor Roll my Freshman and Sophomore years.
