Lilly Whaling: Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year

Lilly Whaling didn’t need any more accolades to prove she is one of the best athletes in New York state, but she received another anyway: LoHud’s girls lacrosse Player of the Year.

Whaling, who is committed to Cornell University to continue her academic and athletic journey, capped off a very successful career at Rye with 54 goals and 12 assists for 66 points during her senior year. She led the Garnets to the State title game and earned All-Section honors to boot. The Lions Club named her Rye’s 2023-24 Athlete of the Year back in June, but this newest honor she received is the most impressive yet.
