Lance was a senior at the Goshen High School. He was an outstanding student who loved to learn. He excelled in both Math and Science. Lance scored a 100 in pre-calculus and earned the pre-calculus achievement award. Lance was very athletic and a fierce competitor. He was a member of the Varsity Cross Country, Varsity Football and Varsity Wrestling teams. Among his many accomplishments, he was the first wrestler in many years in Goshen to achieve 100 varsity wins. He received numerous awards for his wrestling, both trophies and ribbons. As impressive as Lance was as a student and athlete, he was also a responsible and a hard working young man, he would have received perfect attendance for all four years during high school.
