Among a group of nearly 180 elite high school girls lacrosse players from across the country who have been invited to participate in the USA Lacrosse National Team Development Program Combine is Regis Jesuit senior-to-be Madisyn Jokerst.
Prep players from 18 states and the District of Columbine worked their way through a combined 23 regional tryouts to earn bids to the combine, which will determine the 48 total players (24 apiece in the U16 and U18 groups) be selected to participate in a sixes development camp in September and against international competition at the Brogden Cup in October.
The three-day combine is scheduled for July 31-Aug. 2 at Garrison Forrest School in Owings Mills, Maryland. Jokerst — who plays club lacrosse with Team 180 — is one of four Colorado players in the U18 pool.
As an attacker, she led Regis Jesuit with 51 goals and added seven assists for a total of 58 points that put her just a point off the Raiders’ team lead. For her career, the explosive Jokerst has scored 146 goals and dished out 38 assists in 49 career prep games. The other Colorado U18 selections were Mountain Vista’s Rocquette Allen on attack and two goalies, Serena Reiter of Mountain Vista and Denver East’s Chloe Silverstein.
Jokerst also earned a spot on the 2024 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Girls Lacrosse Team, story, here.
