The 2009 OHSLA/US Lacrosse Academic All-Americans have been announced. US Lacrosse allows Oregon to have 4 Academic All Americans. This year the choices were extremely difficult to make as virtually all of our nominees were qualified for the honor. The voting was extremely close, since choosing between our nominees was extremely difficult. In the end, the OHSLA Board chose the following seniors to be US Lacrosse Academic All-Americans:
Each Academic All-American will receive two certificates from US Lacrosse noting their honor, one for the student athlete and one for the school.
Congratulations to our 2009 Academic All-Americans.
