Avery Meighan '22 Recruiting Profile

I set 2 goals for myself in 9th grade, to try my best in every sport I play and to have fun doing it. I’m happy to say that my hard work paid off and this year I earned All County HM in lacrosse, made it to the Top Scoring Leaders in Long Island  twice, & had a blast doing it. I am an athlete by nature, I started playing 3 sports when I was only 8 years old, I did them all for fun until my 6th grade basketball team won the championship. After this I realized I was super competitive and really liked winning!!  I made the varsity lacrosse team in 9th grade and was pulled up for playoffs in 8th . I played JV Soccer and Basketball then made both varsity teams in 10th grade. I have been a starter on varsity soccer for 2 years and made All Class in my Conference this year. We had a pause on sports for 2 seasons during Covid and it was torture.  When we got the ok to go back to sports,  I made sure I went to the "wall" at my school after every soccer practice to throw the ball in preparation for lacrosse which was starting right after soccer. This has been my best season so far in lacrosse with 47 total points  and I hope I can continue to play in college.   One of my best games this season was in the  playoffs against the 6th seed team Lynbrook, although we lost, I scored 6 of the 11 goals and had 2 assists.   I will be competing in many tournaments over the summer with my travel lacrosse team ( Empire Lacrosse)   Any school that recruits me will be getting an athlete that gives it 110% every time. I stay after practice most days to work on my stick skills and I make sure to rally my team before every game. Playing team sports sets you up for life and teaches you skills to be successful. I can't wait to play on the college level!
