Congratulations to Sara on her college choice and good luck in the future!   Name Sara Palmisano High School American Heritage Boca Delray Graduation Year 2020 College Choice University of Denver Club Affiliations Florida Select Why did you choose this college? Denver has a beautiful campus, and is an amazing school athletically and academically. The coaches are amazing coaches and people, and I loved all of the girls on the team and think they have a great team culture. I can’t wait to be a Pioneer!! What are your first memories of the sport? In fourth grade, my dad asked my twin sister, Anna, and I if we wanted to play lacrosse and showed us a YouTube video of lacrosse because we knew nothing about lacrosse. We decided to try it. Our rec team was super fun and I fell in love with lacrosse right away. What part of the process was most surprising to you about the recruiting process and what would you like to pass on to those who are going to face it in the future? When the recruiting rule changed it was hard not communicating with the coaches. Don’t rush to find a school. Make sure to visit schools and get to know the players and coaches. Who would you like to thank for helping you get here? Thank you so much to my parents for supporting me; I wouldn’t be anywhere near the person I am today without you. Thank you Jamoris and Akai for all the training sessions and for being amazing role models and mentors!! Thank you so much Crysti for everything!! Thanks Coach Emily for all of your help in lacrosse and life and for being an amazing role model and mentor for me! Thank you Coach Rick for making always making lacrosse fun on and off the field and for all you taught me! Thank you John for all you do! You are an amazing coach and I would be nowhere near the player I am today without you! Thank you Rob for all the many things you’ve taught me about lacrosse and life! Thank you to all of my teammates — I wouldn’t be anywhere who I am or gotten where I am today without you! Thank you Coach Liza, Coach Tee, and Coach Britt for giving me the opportunity to play for you–I can’t wait!!
