The 2016 all-state girls lacrosse teams honor the best players in the sport as judged by the leagues and coaches. They are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
These teams were created following a lengthy process which included nominations from leagues, and then a vote of head coaches.
Player and coach of the year was also selected by a vote of the coaches.

Player of the year: Bridget Sutter, Colorado Academy
The ballots to select the 2015-16 girls lacrosse, boys lacrosse, girls soccer and baseball all-state have been emailed to coaches.
They now have a week to select the teams, which are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
The all-state teams for so-called individual sports — in the spring, those are girls tennis, boys swim, track, and girls golf — are selected based upon performance at the state meets. A number of those teams have been released, and will continue to be this week.
The process for selecting the all-state teams in so-called team sports is as follows:
Every player who was a first-team all-league selection is put on a ballot.
Head coaches are emailed the ballot, and they vote on their all-state picks. Only head coaches are permitted to vote, and each head coach only gets one vote.
The players with the most votes will be placed on the all-state teams.
There are separate voting categories for coaches to vote on player of the year, and coach of the year, in each classification.
Head coaches who didn’t receive the all-state basketball ballot in their email should email rcasey@chsaa.org as soon as possible.

The 2016 all-state boys swimming teams are presented by CHSAANow.com, ColoradoPreps.com and MaxPreps.
These teams were created based upon results at the state meet.
Swimmers of the year were selected based upon the number of team points they produced at the state meet. This means that they received the full amount of team points from individual events they swam in, as well as one-fourth of the total points earned by the team in relays they swam in.
Finally, in order to be considered for swimmer of the year, athletes must first have made the all-state team by winning in a championship.
Divers of the year were selected by finish at the state meet, as were coaches of the year.
