Named the Northern Lights Conference most valuable player in 2008, Larson also won the sportsmanship award at the state tournament that year. She was an all-state honorable mention player the last two years.

The 5-foot-10 Larson will joined a Regis team that went 14-14 last season, 11-8 in conference.

A four-year starter in basketball and soccer at Colony, Larson also played two years of volleyball.

After maintaining nearly a 4.0 grade-point average at Colony, she intends to major in biochemistry.
