Records Made to be Broken
Jim Trenz SACRAMENTO, CALIF.
Congrats to the Thompsons! I love their tenacity and skill level. As a previous holder of five individual Division I records, I hope the Thompsons enjoy their records for a very long time.
There is one remaining record for the Jim Trenz-Mike French duo [1974 Cornell]. The goals per game average is 7.86 versus 7.39 for the Thompsons. The points per game record fell after 40 years, 13.21 versus 13.72 for the Thompsons. Forty years is a long time! The French-Eamon McEneaney assists per game [in 1976] fell after 38 years: 6.31 versus 6.33 for the Thompsons.
The modern defensive players do not have the same tools the defense had 40, or even 20 years ago. A good defensive check now goes unrewarded due to the current sticks’ deep mesh pockets, narrow throated stick design and soft defensive stick heads. Nevertheless, a per-game comparison is warranted due to the unequal number of games played by each attack duo.
CONSIDER IT
DONE, KID I’m a 12-year-old who lives
in Portsmouth, N.H., and play lacrosse for a team called Seacoast. My dad, Daniel De Tolla, is an oral surgeon. He goes to Barrow, Alaska, every year to work on people’s teeth and jaws. My brother and I go with him every year.
Two years ago, we started a lacrosse clinic there. We ask people to donate lacrosse sticks. We got a lot sticks from friends, but it was barely enough. This year, I’m asking if you could get us in your magazine to spread the word. Then we could spread our word throughout the nation.

Caroline Neighbors @Hi__neighbor The kids I’m babysitting requested that I read them
lacrosse magazine (“February”) as a bedtime story....
Ann Elliott @CUCoachElliott Love the appropriate #GloryDays title in Lacrosse Magazine (“May”)! 2005 was an amazing year for @NULax

Ryan Greene Thinking about what these two young men [co-Tewaaraton Award winners Lyle and Miles Thompson] mean for the game is awesome
— talent, skill, history, perseverance, intelligence. Dynamic ability, team work, diversity, the origins of this great sport, etc. — what a great American story!

While down on remote Captiva Island in Florida in May, we saw these kids out playing lacrosse on the beach at sunset. It was a wonderful sight — almost as good as the sunset.
