Sarah Rudeen tried soccer, basketball and track and field growing up.
The Fossil Ridge High School senior was into volleyball the most, she said. Until she discovered lacrosse in junior high school.
"I think we just saw an ad in the paper, and we just signed up and started playing," Rudeen, now a captain on the Fort Collins Havoc girls lacrosse team, said after an indoor practice Thursday night at Edge Sports Center. "We didn't know anything. We had to learn everything, because really it was a brand-new sport. No one had any experience."
Lacrosse actually is touted as the oldest sport in North America, having originated with Native Americans. But it's still relatively new in the West, and Rudeen and classmate Kate Gohari, the Havoc's other captain and also a Fossil Ridge High senior, said they routinely have to explain the sport. And not just in school but wherever they might be.
