hes not the fastest, but i think he runs a 4.4 40. but there are a handful of guys faster than him. i do think however, that he is the fastest golie out there

[lax_11]

wow that's awsome !

[radman]

Will Barrow, UVA

I dunno about you, but a 4.4 is pretty damn fast. Not alot of football players run that.

[RYU]

Andrew Goldstein of DartmouthAre we talking current & former Div1 laxers or just current ones, b/c Goldstein graduated in 2005.

[MadLaxPlaya16]

dude alot of football players run 4.4's or faster

[Lax101]

dude alot of football players run 4.4's or faster
You should seriously look up some NFL combine stats, because a 4.4 time is exceptional for nearly every position. A time lower than that, a 4.3, you'll only get from a few players per combine.

[Liblax44]

lets say current players and 4.4 for football is nothing reggie bush ran a 40 in 4.23 in the combine

[MadLaxPlaya16]

ya dude there are 4 people on my football team who run faster than 4.5 and 2 who ran a 4.45 so i kno there are several college guys that can run faster than 4.4s

[Shock32]

Well, uh, there's this kid named Kyle Kapron at Navy who's really fast.

[LoyolaMiddie878]

the guy that's #1 on UMass. or he was during their season this year.

i can't think of his name but i thought i heard the commentator say that he was one of the fastest in all of college.

[laxpro]

Kyle Fiat from Towson is super fast.

[MACDADDY]

thats awsome how the goalie scored. hes pretty fast cuz he got by everyone without getting hit that much. i woulda been surprised to see a goalie run up and score

[cgv1016]

definatley will barrow

[socalax]

will barrow of UVA or Jacovina of UMASS, they both are real fast

[Formerlaxdemon]

I don't know his name, but there was a middie on Notre Dame's team that out ran everyone who tried to defend him at the Irish-UVa game. If I can remember his number I will let you all know.

[bpercival]

Yeah, like Socalax said and Quint I bleieve in the Final game he described Jacovina as lightning speed when he took that sprint up field.

[LoyolaMiddie878]

will barrow of UVA or Jacovina of UMASS, they both are real fast


jacovina...that's the guy i was trying to think of.

[CHSlax]

the guy that's #1 on UMass. or he was during their season this year.

i can't think of his name but i thought i heard the commentator say that he was one of the fastest in all of college.

Thats Brian Jacovina (sp) and yea he's wicked fast but the wierd thing is that my friend who plays for them says he isn't even the fastest on the team. Umass has some wicked quick middies like pedrick for example.

[centenniallax81]

Who do u think the fastest player is in division 1's men lacrosse?

I say steven brooks of syracuse is lighting fast.



um i would have agreed with you on this before he had major knee surjury, he'll never as fast as he used to be

[malax31]

are we talking about quick or fast? they are two completely diffrent things.

and about the 4.4, there are about 3-4 players a year who run sub-4.4 40's at the NFL combine. the fastest i have seen is jerome mathis, a 3rd round pick of the texans not last draft but the draft before, out of Howard (Va.) ran a 4.19. that might be the fastest combine time ever (and bush did not run a 4.23 btw, tye hill had the fastest 40 at 4.31)

[Liblax44]

brooks had a knee surgery at a amazing doctor and he had amazing rehab he will be just as fast trust me

[malax31]

thats awsome how the goalie scored. hes pretty fast cuz he got by everyone without getting hit that much. i woulda been surprised to see a goalie run up and score
not only did he score, but it was the game winner against 'cuse i think 2 years ago, when they were sick. that was a huge upset

[centenniallax81]

brooks had a knee surgery at a amazing doctor and he had amazing rehab he will be just as fast trust me


i just saw him 2 weeks ago and he was still hobeling(sp?) around, like 3-4 months after his surgery, i still dont know if he'll be 100% come the time their season starts

[DukeLax2]

will dalton

[OwlsLax2]

Brian Jacovina, UMASS

[laxn]

Steve Giannone, UVA that man can MOVE

[MACDADDY]

thats pretty bad to get knee surgery. how does someone in their early adult age bust a knee. im just wondering because my grandpa use to do track and he sprang his knee but never broke it or anything.

[thebrettness]

Were are you guys getting this? Mathis ran a 4.28 in the 40-yard dash, straight of his page on NFL.com.

And reggie ran a 4.35, not a 4.23, again, straight off of NFL.com


Please get your facts straight, don't jsut make them up


And sorry, I didn't kow that Golstein had graduated, I had just remeberd the video.

its pretty easy to tear your ACL. basically your leg goes one way and your foot doesnt and something has to give.

[Liblax44]

i have seen brooks over the summer to and it i saw him at lots of things over the summer and he was hobbling around i saw him jog across the field with a brace on to in philly so thats good news and brooks injured it about 5 to 6 months ago

[WClax17]

i had knee surgery. you hobble around for a while, but after you do all that rehab and work out your leg gets stronger. I was faster after my surgery than before. and brooks could already burn almost everybody so i'm sticking with him.

[CutsConstantly]

Does anyone here actually read Inside Lacrosse?
IL did a D1 player survey (1 or 2 issues ago) and one of the questions was "Who is the fastest player in D1?"

Answer: 1. Will Barrow, UVA 2. Steven Brooks, Syracuse

With regards to Jacovina, at the 2006 Final 4 one of the broadcasters (Dave or Quint, can't remember which) stated that he set UMASS 40 yard dash record. I don't know if that means the UMASS Lacrosse team or the school's record. Honestly, I'd be surprised if it was the school's, although the kid is SPEEDY!

[Liblax44]

ya i know that was in there but i was wondering from the fan perspective not the player

[xXSuffLax16Xx]

Eddie Wansor from Hofstra u will see him this year really fast .

[BravesLaxer]

Andrew Goldstein of Dartmouth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_SZjNh6dHw
Didn't espn do a story on him

[Guyute Lax]

Eddie Wansor from Hofstra u will see him this year really fast .
Julian Watts is faster than Wansor and he's 6-2, 195

[Orange]

not only did he score, but it was the game winner against 'cuse i think 2 years ago, when they were sick. that was a huge upset
Not true. That was in 2003 and Syracuse won that game.

[wilsontopowell]

austin walker from hopkins i dont know if hes the fastest but hes definently one of the fastest in d1

[BLUEJAYSFAN9]

austin walker

[bpercival]

the guy that's #1 on UMass. or he was during their season this year.

i can't think of his name but i thought i heard the commentator say that he was one of the fastest in all of college.

You mean Javovina, and they did referr to him as lightning speed also.

[FairSpanishLadi]

dude alot of football players run 4.4's or faster

Well, most people believe that because nobody loves lying about their 40 times more than football players. You always hear about these guys running 4.2's, 4.3's, and 4.4's, and then at the NFL combine they show up and run .15 slower than they led us to believe. Who was that Texas Longhornes linebacker 2 years ago that won the Butkus who supposedly ran a 4.4? He ran a 4.73 at the combine.

[VTLaxFan]

what about fastest women's player?

[MidwestLAx101]

dude liblax u are a huge brooks fan i have worked with him alot and played with him alot this summer hes rlly good

[LvIlLeLaX5]

i know this thread is a couple months old but starting to get into the d1 early stages of there season still months away who do u think will be the fastest player in d1 this year?

[scarsdalelax08]

Sean Morris ran a 4.37 forty

[LvIlLeLaX5]

i highly dought that i would like to see where you saw that

[shootandfeed]

will barrow or steve brooks, steve brooks is so fast its unfair

[mdlax88989]

lets say current players and 4.4 for football is nothing reggie bush ran a 40 in 4.23 in the combine

wow reggie bush is a running back in the nfl of course hes gunna be that fast. u can always find somebody a lot faster in some sport that duznt mean 4.4 isnt fast

[theck]

dude jesse schwartzman is by far the fastest d1 plaer

[Valaxman17]

paul richards from loyola he is crazy fast he out ran a bunch of people backwards and forwards noone could come within 10 yards of him on the sprints

[THEWALL16]

That big goalie from cortlands championship team

[VTLaxFan]

about that cortland goalie and jesse schwatzmann, are you serious I haven't seen either run, so i don't know if your being sarcatic. sorry for my stupidity...

[shiftylax]

Will Barrow is sick fast. His run against UMass on the clear in the final last year is just unreal. You blink and hes in the O-box.

[the next 'one']

sean morris. not only is he incredibly fast in the long run, but he can pretty much beat any defender in a one on one cause his explosiveness and afility is to quick. especially when he goes parallel to the goal back and forth a few times, then he has a wide open crank shot from 10 yards out. in one of the UMASS games, they said he squats over 550, and for a guy that size, thats insane.

[BLUEJAYSFAN9]

dude jesse schwartzman is by far the fastest d1 plaer
haha lol Jesse is so slow

[wilsontopowell]

Will Barrow is sick fast. His run against UMass on the clear in the final last year is just unreal. You blink and hes in the O-box.

he probably is the fastest in d1. he was offered football scholorships to a lot of diffrent prestigious programs to play cornerback so that tells you something about his speed

[HoosLax1]

Will Barrow is lightning fast

[RamLacrosse]

you mean running speed? or quickness in dodging?

[LvIlLeLaX5]

steve brooks is lighting fast and i think barrow is nasty in speed that would be a great race

[DJ Death]

will barrow for sure.

[lsilaxer131]

queener from ualbany has gotta be the fastest goalie, and the only legitamate scoring threat from that position

[JustLaxn58]

If Paul Ricahrds comes back from his knee injury as strong and fast as he was, I agree

[Emerican]

lol Remember Goldstein?

that goalie was pretty quick from what i recall

[the next 'one']

Sean Morris, #25 UMASS
