Five members of Herricks High School’s varsity boys lacrosse team recently signed National Letters of Intent, representing their commitment to continue their athletic involvement in college.
Salvatore Cipriano, Andrew Chu, Marko Kurek, Richard Marchelos and Lawrence Marino made their future plans official during a ceremony held after school on Nov. 12.
Parents and siblings joined the students, along with head coach Mike Chin and the district’s director of athletics, physical education and health education Jim Petricca.
Salvatore, who was named All-County Honorable Mention last year and led all of Long Island in scoring, will play lacrosse at Mount St. Mary’s University. Andrew, Marko, Richard and Lawrence will join the teams at Molloy College, Florida Southern College, Mercy College and Adelphi University, respectively.
All five athletes are scholarship recipients and have participated on the varsity team since their freshman year.
“More important than winning and losing are the opportunities that this sport can give, and these young men are prime examples of the opportunities that can come out of lacrosse,” Chin said.
