Liz Melahn
Program Administrator & Coach-High School (9th-12th)
Chantal grew up on Long Island in New York. She attended a small private school where she and a group of 7 other students started up a boys vasity lacrosse program as freshman. She became the team manager and the other seven became amazing players leading the brand new team to first place in state! By the time her Senior year came there was enough interest to start a girls Varsity team. And that is exactly what Chantal did. The trend did not stop there! It coninued when she was accepted to the college of business at CSU. Being the first female in her family to attend a 4 year University she had high hopes and dreams to attain the knowlege to become a entreprenuer one day. Leaving all her family behind she moved to a new world and worked towards her degree in Busniness Administration while playing womens club lacrosse at CSU. In her day they actually played teams like Air Force, Colorado University, Regis, Denver University & Colorado Acadamey, which are all Varsity college programs now. She is co-founder of the alumni program started to help support the current CSU women's lacrosse pogram which is #1 in state. After graduating in 2001 she attended Empire Real Estate School and obtained her Real Estate License with Coldwell Banker by the end of that year. Taking advantage of her flexible schedule she decided to take on the task of forming the first youth girls lacrosse program in Northern Colorado. Unpaid, she became the administrator and head coach for this team. She could have never done it with out the help of the existing boys youth lacrosse program, CSU's womens lacrosse team support, and most importantly those who have help coach, and raise money to keep the program around for expansion each year! She is still the administrator for girls lacrosse in Northern Colorado and the administrative representative for the new team forming in the CGLA-Colorado Girls Lacrosse Association (5th grade-8th grade), and the proud owner of the only lacrosse equipment specialty store in Northern Colorado, Colorado Lacrosse and Company, Inc.
