About Me

Student. Athlete. Builder.

I'm Ryder Pitek — a first-year Biology student at High Point University and a lifelong lacrosse player from Cary, NC. I competed for Panther Creek High School's Men's Lacrosse program, playing Attack and wearing #6.

At HPU I'm building a foundation in the life sciences while continuing to grow as a competitor. My goal is to bring the same drive I put into lacrosse into everything I pursue — in the lab, the classroom, and beyond.

Playing attack at Panther Creek sharpened my competitive instincts and taught me to perform under pressure. Lacrosse demands quickness, field vision, and relentless hustle — skills that carry directly into everything I do on campus.
