Wednesday, April 28, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 21 Lady Outlaws have new lacrosse coach By Rongi Yost Correspondent Julia Boris was recently hired as the new head coach for the girls lacrosse pro- gram, and she is excited about the opportunity and the season ahead. Boris started to play lacrosse when she was four years old and played through high school. She was a cen- ter midfielder on the varsity squad all four years. Julia graduated in 2018 from Rising Sun High School, a small town in Maryland about one hour outside of Baltimore. From there she played on a travel team for two years all over the East Coast. Julia recently moved to Sisters to be close to family and wasn9t even aware there was an open coaching posi- tion. While having dinner with family friends, Doug and Sandy Hull, lacrosse briefly came into the conversation. <Doug knew I9d played lacrosse, and that I9d hoped to maybe help out with the girls team,= said Boris. <I didn9t know that Doug I want to be in partnership with the girls and I want them to know we’re all in this together. —Julia Boris Equestrians have strong meet at fairgrounds The Sisters High School (SHS) Equestrian team par- ticipated in their second District Meet April 15 -18 at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. In keeping with the COVID-19 requirements, athletes hauled in to the meet each day and no over- night stalls or camping was allowed. The team has worked hard to practice all their dif- ferent individual and team events; the athletes started working in early December 2020 and attend up to four practice sessions per week. The weather was wonder- ful for Meet 2, which truly was a blessing as horses were tied up to their trailers between events. Sisters had some excel- lent results and top three finishers including: Shea Robertson 4 first in Hunt Seat Equitation; sec- ond in both Dressage and Western Horsemanship. Madi Larrabee 4 second in Poles and Keyhole; third in Barrels and Figure Eight. Hailee Kennedy 4 third in Poles. In the team events, the SHS drill team of Madi Larrabee, Brooklyn Lugo, Ava Siler and Lucy Siler came in first. Ava and Lucy Siler, paired up to take third place in Working Pairs and Madi Larrabee and Josie Berg took third in Birangle. SHS also took third in Team Versatility (Hailee Kennedy, Shea Robertson, Sidney Sillers, and Chloe Winter) and Team Flags (Madi Larrabee, Chloe Winter, Sidney Sillers and Josie Berg). Coach Annie Winter extended thanks to all the advocated for me and worked behind the scenes. Before I knew it the coaching posi- tion was informally offered to me. I went through the process with Sisters Park & Recreation District and they offered me the position.= Boris has coached younger players, but never at the high school level, and was very surprised she was offered the varsity coaching position. <It was very exciting,= said Boris. <I didn9t have great high school coaches, so a huge part of my coaching will be what I missed out on, which is a community and family feel. I want to be in partnership with the girls and I want them to know we9re all in this together. I want to not only support them as athletes, but as students and young women.= Boris told The Nugget that lacrosse is very different on the East Coast. <Their skill-level is crazy, and has evolved so fast,= said Boris. <I9m excited to bring that to the team in Sisters. In the past I don9t think they9ve really believed in their abil- ity as a team, and it9s very important to me to capitalize on that. I want to uplift the girls and help them believe in themselves on and off the field. I9m not much older PHOTO BY RONGI YOST Julia Boris will lead the Outlaws on the lacrosse field. than they are, so I get it.= In addition to coaching lacrosse, Boris works as a senior adult caregiver. She also plans to pursue a CNA degree and get her trauma coach certification. Hop into Bloom! Now Open for INDOOR dining!
