John Krumenacker Award
County Player of the Year

The Nassau County Player of the Year Award is given annually to the most outstanding high school lacrosse player in Nassau County as voted by the NCLCA.

The award, first given in 1993, was changed in 1999 to honor the memory of the late John Krumenacker. An All-American in high school at Farmingdale in 1981, Krumenacker was a four-time All-American midfielder at Johns Hopkins University. He captained the 1985 Hopkins team that won the NCAA Championship, was a member of the 1986 United States World Championship team, and played for the Philadelphia Wings.

Tragically, John passed away after a brief in illness in 1998. Longtime Farmingdale High School coach Bob Hartranft described John as “not only the greatest player I have coached, but the finest human being I have met in all my years as a coach or teacher.”
