And his extracurricular life is a full one. When not on the rink or the field, Fried, a government concentrator, is a member of the AD Club and a senior staff member of Satire V.

He is also developing a hockey clinic for underprivileged youth in Boston this summer.

As a testament to his hectic schedule, Fried tells the story of one day last spring when he woke up at 5:45 am to lift weights, returned to the rink at 3:00 pm after class, and then sprinted over to the lacrosse field for a 5 o’clock practice.

“Though these days are rare, they are still fun and help keep you focused, particularly in school,” Fried says.

A Class Act

“Playing two sports is not the burden some might make it out to be,” Fried says. “It’s actually a lot of fun—training, staying competitive, keeping focused, and meeting new people.”

Fried’s competitive edge stays sharp all year round, and his attitude and work ethic have left quite an impression on his coaches and teammates.

“His greatest asset is that he is a competitor,” Anderson says. “He is the quintessential athlete.”
