What will you major in/study? Undecided
Why did you choose this school? “I chose Princeton because it is the perfect mix of athletics and academics. With a great lacrosse program and top tier education, Princeton will allow me to succeed in the classroom and on the field. Additionally, after visiting Princeton twice, my heart was set on it and I fell in love with the campus.”
2016 HS season highlights/outlook for 2017? Our OES team lost many seniors, including much of our defense, however, we return five offensive starters. I believe we can make a run if we stay healthy, but injuries play a big factor every year.”
People to thank: “I would like to thank all my coaches from 3D and OES, as well as my family and friends. I would also like to give a special shoutout to Reed Zabel (Lincoln High School 2015) for teaching me how to play lacrosse in the 4th grade.”
