Jumping into the Fall USTA/ITA Regional at Whitman

Ok, this is a cheesy title to the blog post, but last Friday Erin emailed the team that morning that it was "Fun Friday" and on HP's birthday we took some photos to send to her.  Still, the hard work, excitement and true fun this group has with each other is unreal.

Ok, it is tournament week.  What does that mean for a college student?  Well, not just do the normal go to class, go to practice, go to the gym, go to the library, go eat, go hang out with friends....wow, these young women really do an unreal job managing their time; but who wouldn't want their job to be engaging in learning in the classroom and on the court and doing it with friends in this beautiful place.  Still, this week is our only competition this fall so everyone is pumped and knows it will be busy so on top of all those usual things, people are getting ahead on schoolwork to enjoy the tournament on campus this weekend.

Here are links to the draws that I'll update through the weekend.  We're really excited not just to play but also to see many friends and family as we host this event.

PS  I haven't written it up yet, but KKP was our Whittie of the Week last week.  It is the most fun for me to see her growth as a leader and communicator over the past four years, but it was a first year teammate who nominated her for her "awesome, positive attitude and bright smile on and off the court everyday! Her energy and enthusiasm pumps up the team!"  Congrats Kate! Great contributions.
