Class of 2011

Cawley Bromley is a 2011 graduate of Apex High School. The Bromley family is often known as the “First family of Apex Women’s Lacrosse” due to the fact that Cawley’s father, Rob, was integral in getting women’s lacrosse started in the Apex area, and he also served as an assistant coach at the high school where Cawley and her two sisters both played. Therefore, it is fitting that she is the first women’s lacrosse athlete in the Apex High School/Apex Consolidated Hall of Fame.

Bromley graduated from Apex High School as a three-time State Champion and two-time State Championship game MVP. Furthermore, Bromley was selected as a two-time winner of the News and Observer Lacrosse Player of the year and two-time conference player of the year. Cawley’s remarkable accomplishments have stood the test of time as she is still our school’s all-time points leader with 334 points and the all-time playoffs scoring leader as well. On top of this, Bromley was named all-conference for all four years of her Apex career. In recognition for her accomplishments, she was also named to the North Carolina Women’s Lacrosse All-Decade Team.

A testament to Bromley’s dominance is that during her four years, the Apex Cougar Women’s Lacrosse team had a record of 69-3 against NC schools and two of those losses came when Bromley was unable to play due to a torn ACL. After graduating from Apex, Cawley went to Virginia Tech and played there for four years. She earned Academic All-Conference Honors at VT in 2014. Following her playing career, she was an assistant Coach at Campbell University.  Today, she continues to share her passion for lacrosse in Chicago where she currently works and coaches in youth programs. Despite Cawley’s stunning accomplishments on the field, she is best remembered for being humble, hard-working and a great teammate.
