Personal Statement
My name is Eli Dillon, and I am part of the 2020 graduating class at Westview High School in Beaverton, Oregon. I am a 5’11”, 165 pound midfielder and I am interested in engineering. It has always been my dream to play lacrosse in college ever since I started playing 10 years ago. Lacrosse has enabled me to travel all across the United States, coast to coast. I have played on 4 different club lacrosse teams: Awestruck Lacrosse, 3D Oregon, Lacrosse NW Rippers and Madlax Oregon 2020AA. Some of my best accomplishments to date are that I was the only freshman to make the varsity team, this year I made 39 goals and 8 assists, I was appointed captain during my junior year, and I was chosen to receive the Coaches Award for being a motivated player who consistently demonstrated the ability to be coachable. I also received All-Metro Honorable Mention my junior year. I am always making sure everybody on the team is staying focused on the end goal but also helping them to stay positive through hard times. What I am looking for in a college team is to get a good education, to be very competitive, and to be able to make an impact on the team right away.
