Although snow is on the ground, spring sports are starting up. Lacrosse tryouts for both the girls and boys team started on Monday, March 13. The tryouts for the boys were held Monday and Tuesday from 8-10 and the girls tryouts were Monday and Tuesday from 7-9.

The Lady Gladiators include girls from both Western and Central. Junior Jenna Moss offered key advice to help get through tryouts, “Go all out at tryouts so you push yourself even more at practice. That is the key to improvement.”

Junior Clara Kissling, who played on varsity last year, is excited for this new season to start, “Tryouts are getting me pumped for the season and I can’t wait to see what we can do this year.” The girls from both Western and Central form a close bond over the season and work really hard together as a team.”
