Reichert, Soll gain lacrosse honors
Seniors Tim Reichert and Ben Soll have earned High School Lacrosse Coaches Association awards for the past season.
Reichert was named a U.S. Lacrosse All-American, one of five players in the state so honored. He was also selected for the National Senior All-Star game.
Soll was one of five Vermonters named a Green and Gold Outstanding Player of the Year. He was also chosen for the Division 1 All-State First team, along with Reichert.
CVU hockey player in national team tryouts
It may be the middle of the summer, but last week Eric Robinson, a defensive stalwart on the Division 1 champion Champlain Valley Union High boys hockey team, was lacing up the skates in Rochester, N.Y. as one of 145 players on eight teams trying for positions on the U-17 national team.
Robinson was the only Vermonter and one of three players from northern New England named to the 10-member New England team taking part in the summer camp. Last winter he was an All-State first team member.
