Meet the athletes on the All-Bulletin boys and girls lacrosse teams

After a five-year absence, we are pleased to present our 2022 All-Bulletin boys and girls lacrosse teams. Athletes were selected with the assistance of coaches from Norwich Free Academy, Norwich Technical High School, Griswold High School, Plainfield High School, and Killingly High School.

The boys' team features eight students, while the girls' team features six students. The group altogether includes award winners, top scorers and tournament champions.

The All-Bulletin track and field and All-Bulletin softball team have already been published online. Over the next several days, The Bulletin will announce All-Bulletin teams for baseball, as well as golf and tennis.
