Sydney Hankel '21 Recruiting Profile

When my brother started playing lacrosse at a young age, I was always passing with him in the driveway (with a boys stick). When my parents asked me if I wanted to play, my answer was an enthusiastic yes! My aspiration to play lacrosse in college has been unceasing from the start. My dream is to play with a team that is competitive and fun, and my goal is to improve as a player and compete at a high level. My natural leadership on and off the field makes me a great candidate for a high level team, and also my fun and peppy personality. I always bring hype, fun, and a competitive edge to the field. I am athletic and dedicated to the improvement of myself and the team as a whole. My skill set also includes time management skills, as I have been balancing a heavy, challenging course load with two club sports (lacrosse and volleyball).

As a dual sport athlete, I am extremely busy. Sometimes, I have 8 practices a week... during finals!! Outside of school and sports, I enjoy going skiing with my family and friends on Mt. Hood or Mt. Bachelor, traveling, cooking fun and healthy food, and hanging out with my friends. Nutrition and cooking have become an important part of my life, and my mom influenced me to eat healthy.
