In Their Own Words: Mt. Sinai’s Meg Tyrell
Titles, All-American honors, records, and a bright future ahead at Syracuse University. Mt. Sinai’s Meg Tyrell has done it all during her prep career and she was named Section XI’s top female athlete of spring 2018.
We asked her to write about her career, so here it goes … this is Meg Tyrell in her own words:
“My high school lacrosse career has been everything that I could have dreamt of and more.
From my freshman year starting and playing for my first state championship to my senior year loss in the Long Island championship, these four years have been full of both extreme highs as well as some lows.
The success we have had over the past four years would not have been possible without our great coaching staff, Coach Bertolone, Coach Carron, and Coach Van Middelem. They have worked so hard from gathering film to creating dominating game plans for our opponents which have led to many overtime and close game wins.
My favorite memory would be our state championship win in 2017. We had to overcome a great deal of adversity and come back from a few goals down in critical games.
The journey from the beginning of that season to playoffs through the state championship final were full of such great experiences and many high intensity games against tough opponents.
The 2017 state championship was my third and final state championship, which I’ll hold close to my heart for a long time.
I’m so thankful for high school lacrosse because it has brought me so many relationships with people who will remain close with me as I enter new chapters of my life.
Although it was tough to say goodbye, I cannot wait to move on to my collegiate career at Syracuse University.”
