Arvada native Cody Bartusiak was recently named the Division II defensive player of the week by the U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association.
Bartusiak attended Ralston Valley, but played most of his high school career with Wheat Ridge.
He now plays defense at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, as a freshman. He is the first player from that program to earn that honor.
He had a big showing in the Lynn Fighting Knights' season-finale April 23 in a 10-6 win over Florida Tech. Bartusiak topped his own school record for caused turnovers in a game with six and tied for the team-lead with four groundballs. His efforts allowed the team to post its first-ever win over the Panthers. It was the sixth time in the season that the Lynn defense limited an opponent to six goals or less.
The long-stick midfielder finished the season atop the SSC leaderboard in both total caused turnovers and caused turnovers per game. Bartusiak's 30 caused turnovers this year nearly doubles the previous Lynn single-season school record.
