Arianna Crusha is an All-American, and she had the opportunity to display her lacrosse skills at the national level.
The recent Glacier Peak High School graduate was one of 60 players selected to the first annual girls Adrenaline Lacrosse All-American Game, which took place June 23 in Frisco, Texas.
Crusha was one of the 30 players named to the North team, as she was selected as a defender. She was nominated by her club coach, Lyndsey Gillis of Seattle Starz — she plays midfield for her club team.
Crusha was on the field for almost the entire All-American Game, which was won by the South 9-7.
“I am honored to have even been nominated, and it was a privilege to have been able to play,” Crusha said via email.
