Tellian Schwarz '22 Recruiting Profile

I am a total grinder. I am humble with high energy. I can't remember a time when I didn't have a stick in my hand. I love lacrosse for many reasons. It allows me to push and challenge myself to become a better athlete. As a super gritty defender, I am always seeking ways to improve my defensive skills like getting open for clears, communicating off-ball, creating fast transitions, breaking down my steps and overall, being a leader. Although I primarily play defense, I am a flexible and fierce player and enjoy playing midfield. I am a serious and determined multi-sport athlete and play for my club team, Mesa Elite. Once a week, I train a few hours in the evening at an elite high intensity clinic with commits going to Virginia, North Carolina and Cornell as well as current players of these same schools and including Northwestern, Yale, Johns Hopkins while home on summer break. I also enjoy becoming the best I can be in school, either academically or socially. As a junior at Radnor, I take Honors and AP courses [2019-2020 AP Psych exam score: 5]. I am a member of the National Honor Society. I enjoy being involved in the school community at large. Since the start of high school, I have served as a class senator for our Student Government, become a Model Congress member, participated in the school musical, helped my local church, and coached a youth soccer program called Radnor Champions League. This league is important to me because I get to teach special needs children how to be a part of a soccer team. Also, I was able to get my Junior Ref certification and have reffed elementary school lacrosse games in the spring. I am honored to say that I received the American Legion Award in 8th grade. It recognizes those who display the qualities of courage, honor, leadership, patriotism and service in their community and I continue to build my character on the foundation of these traits.
