Sports: Lacrosse

Mike played 4 years of lacrosse at Oak Park River Forest High School.  From a kid who went in with just a little knowledge of the game he improved to the point that by the time he was a Senior he played varsity.  He probably worked as hard to get to that level as anything he ever did in sports. 

Along the way he also changed from defense to offense-effectively losing a year's worth of experience while he learned the new position.

Here he is with a couple of his buddies, espcially his friend Tim McCole who worked just as hard as he did.

I do best" (and repeat until the games over)
