Hawks. I say that only because when they pull the rosters together at a young age, speed is the focus, not stick skills or IQ. Speed is the culture of their program (let's ignore the culture of the eastern shore/Calvert Co dads lol). Coaching is above average (or better) and the boys who can deal with the pressure, get better and remain among the fastest. It is hard to lose at youth lacrosse if every member of your team is faster than every member of the other team.

That said, the entire 2028 Elite bracket, aside from KP, is well stocked with high quality athletes. BLC has some pretty tough and fast guys, but their starters would be 2nd or 3rd line at Madlax and might not make Hawks due to lack of speed, despite being plenty skilled to play there.
