Kyler Krewson
Sts. Peter & Paul High School Lacrosse, Ice Hockey, Basketball
By Tom Worgo
Kyler Krewson is to going to keep a relentless schedule more than ever during his senior year at Saints Peter & Paul High School. Krewson is taking a full course load that includes honors calculus and anatomy and physiology, economics, as well two college courses, English 101 at Chesapeake College and accounting at Keystone Academy. He also plays three sports: lacrosse, ice hockey, and basketball. Both ice hockey and basketball are in the winter. On top of that, he serves as president of his senior class, vice president of the national honor society, and works out daily. And he always finds time to help out his brother, Caleb, a seventh grader at Saints Peter & Paul who has cerebral palsy. “I will carry him to the car and upstairs,” Krewson says. “And tell people what he is saying when he talks.”
The 17-year-old Krewson, a Cambridge resident, leaves no doubt he looks forward to packing the most he can into this school year. “I think it will be a really great challenge for me especially taking the college courses,” he says. “I will really have to manage my time very well. It will definitely help me prepare for college. Some people tend to have an easy senior year. But I want to do the opposite and make my senior year more difficult.”
Krewson’s calm demeanor will help him get through it all. He just won’t have much free time, and that means making sacrifices. “I really don’t worry about much,” he says. “I just go with the flow. I will just tackle it as it goes on and I will just be fine.”
His mother, Kristina, marvels at her son’s maturity. He carries a 4.4 weighted gradepoint average. “He makes it look easy,” she says. “He is always getting As in just about every class in high school. I never have to remind him about doing anything. He handles everything so well.”
Krewson could get a lacrosse scholarship. He’s that good a player with assets that include his smarts, quickness, grit, and work ethic. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound Krew-
son has been recruited by the College of Holy Cross, and he expects from other Division I schools as the months go by between now and the lacrosse season this spring. “I really want to play Division I lacrosse,” Krewson explains. “It’s been a dream of mine since I have been little.”
Saints Peter & Paul Boys Lacrosse Coach Pat Tracy believes Krewson will accomplish his goal. “I think he can play Division I lacrosse,” the coach says. “He has the skill set and the right mindset.”
Krewson, a three-year starter, dominated in lacrosse during his junior year competing in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference. He totaled 29 goals and 38 assists and had his best games against the Sabres’ toughest opponents.
Krewson scored five goals against Severn School, an A Conference opponent, in late March. He also finished with four goals versus DeMatha Catholic High School, an opponent Krewson calls “one of the top teams in the state and country.”
“He wasn’t intimidated by those opponents,” Tracy says.
Krewson developed his skills over the years by playing club lacrosse. He’s done it for nine years, including several seasons for the Green Turtle Lacrosse Club in Towson. Krewson drove nearly two hours for games in the summer and fall.
Krewson’s coaches marvel at his hard work in the classroom and the leadership he shows in sports. He was captain of the Sabres basketball team for two years and most likely will be captain of the lacrosse team in 2022.
“He epitomizes the word student-athlete,” Tracy says.
