Alexander de Vries Reilingh '21 Recruiting Profile

I would like the opportunity to go to a school with a good engineering program. I would love to play lacrosse in college.  

Athletics is the one place I feel totally at home.  I was born and raised in Europe until I was nine.  I spoke another language and moved to America and had to integrate.  English was not easy for me to learn and I was happiest playing sports.  I learned, I had to work harder to catch-up with my peers, as my English wasn't very good, and I apply that same work-ethic to everything I try.  I have grown to love and seek out challenge and playing lacrosse provides me that opportunity.  

I believe I would be a good addition to a collegiate roster as I am not a selfish player, always work hard and constantly seek improvement of myself to benefit my team.    Athletically I am fast, running the 40 yard dash in 4.8 seconds.  My clamp as a face-off specialist is very fast as are my exits.   I have played as the face-off starter for Arrowhead High School - Varsity team as of Sophomore year taking over 325 face-offs. I was an All Star at the D2 SHOWCASE where I successfully executed SNG Face-offs with a very high ratio of wins.
