Efrem Gardner '27 Recruiting Profile

I started playing lacrosse in third grade, and fell in love with it. Now, 8 years later, I am playing Varsity this Spring 2026 for Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs, CO and played Summer & will play Fall 2025 with Team 91 CO. To me, lacrosse is one of the most fun and challenging sports because you have to learn to maximize your play within the rules. As a defender, I use my size, skill, and agility to defend our goal and get the ball back to our offense. I love the competition of lacrosse and, more importantly, being part of a team where I can build lifelong relationships with coaches and teammates. I am there for them! I also am a Varsity Starter on the Football Team as a Defensive End, and do wrestling, and olympic lifting. My goal is to to play lacrosse in college while obtaining a four year degree. I am interested in sports medicine/exercise science/kinsiology and plan to attend physical therapy school so that I can work with athletes.
