2024 Boys Lacrosse Stat Leaders Recap

by Mike Loveday

The 2024 boys high school lacrosse season ended with one player setting a new national record along with players in many states putting their names atop the record books. Laxnumbers is recapping the national, career and season records that were set in 2024.

It’s worth noting there are states where statistics are challenging to come by for various reasons, which can raise questions as to whether a player listed is truly the all-time leader. As more players are reported, records will change, whether new players break the records or someone finds the list and submits a statistic that would make their previous total the new record.

All records on Laxnumbers are verified by Mike Loveday before being published. You can submit a player performance via our online form.
