What will you major in/study? Engineering
Why did you choose Manhattan? “I chose Manhattan because the school offers a good balance between academics and athletics. The school also has a strong tradition of Engineering which is what I am interested in studying. The size of the school and the proximity to New York City were also very important factors. Coach Steve Manitta is also building a strong lacrosse program and I am excited to be a part of that.”
Outlook for your High School team? “After a very successful season we are looking to gain more National recognition and win another Delaware State Championship.”
