of the student body,
which is athletes.” –

here. Without tennis, I would not have any

USA,” – Max De Juan

definitely taught me better
time management. You have
to be able to stay caught up

travel with your team. I’ve
also learned that being a
leader can affect how you
connect in the classroom.” –

first coming to a larger
school.” –Jamie Mayo

with otherwise.” –Cale Eidson

guys from all over the
country and go places
I’ve never gone
before.” – Spencer

translated to the classroom
during group projects and to
multiple job opportunities.” –
Erin Walling

like home.” -Melody Dunn

campus because of it and I

of all I get to do the thing I
love most almost every
day.” –Sabrina Huitt
