Gallery: Girls Tennis Tryouts

With over 150 girls competing for the 32 spots on the junior varsity and varsity girls tennis teams, tennis tryouts were held from Aug. 19-23. For the first two days of tryouts, all teams tried out. For the last three days, only girls selected for the junior varsity and varsity teams continued trying out. Girls who were not chosen for junior varsity and varsity were sorted into the blue and white teams on Aug. 27.

“This is the largest turnout of girls we’ve had in my time of coaching,” said Coach Susan Hallstrom. “Everyone shows a lot of potential this year.”

The girl’s junior varsity tennis team’s next game is against Bishop Miege at Harmon Park on Aug. 28 at 3:30 p.m. Varsity will play SM Northwest at Harmon Park on Aug. 29 at 3:30 p.m.
