On July 1, US Lacrosse announced the 2016 All American players, including Barrington's Allie Kelsey and Molly Coogan.

“US Lacrosse All Americans are the best players from their area. They exhibit superior skills and techniques, possess exceptional game sense and knowledge, and embody good sportsmanship." Both Allie Kelsey and Molly Coogan recently graduated from Barrington High School and were four-year members of the varsity lacrosse team.

This past season they led Barrington to yet another state championship final, where they lost only the second game of the season.

Molly Coogan, a midfielder, finished the season with 36 goals and 22 assists. She will play at Central Connecticut State University next year.

Allie Kelsey, a goalie, finished the season with 137 saves, allowing an average of just 6 goals per game and posting a 64 percent save percentage for the season. She will play at Quinnipiac University next year.

Shannon Duffy, also a senior, was named an Academic All American.
