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.

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

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.
