John "Boomer" Polowczyk '19 Recruiting Profile

I have been described as "a big, strong, physical defenseman that moves well".   I have been playing lacrosse since I was in first grade. Since I have many years of experience I am very knowledgeable in the sport and have a great sense of the game. I am in a military family and I have moved around a lot but I have always found a way to play the sport even when we were stationed in Hawaii. Lacrosse is not as big as I would like it to be in southern Virginia and many think not as competitive or main stream as in some other areas of the country.  That does not keep me from working and trying my best when I get to play teams from other parts of the east coast. I am always proud when we beat teams from Lacrosse hot beds such as Long Island and Canada.  I am an all-around athlete; I was one of only a few sophomores on a the varsity football team  and I was a starting linebacker.  I am also a sprinter on the indoor track team.   I am always active and keep getting stronger by working out in the weight room and conditioning runs with my family.  I never really have a down or off season. I am the youngest of three children.  I have watched my sisters work hard and get accepted into good colleges.  I plan on doing the same.  I am committed to playing lacrosse no matter what team I play for.  I am moving from Virginia Beach Virginia to Washington DC this summer (summer before senior year).
