For this week’s Student Spotlight we have decided to focus on our girls’ fall sports. For Tennis we have chosen to interview player Meredith Kucera.

• What has been your favorite part about being on the Washburn Rural Tennis team?
  • “ I’ve loved being able to go out and play everyday and being with my best friends for four years. I’ve had such a good time playing for this team.”
• Who do you think will be your team’s biggest obstacle this year?
  • “ There’s a lot of good players in Topeka, so if we can be solid throughout our top six I think we’ll be alright. The Kansas City/ Blue Valley schools are always tough at state though.”
• How would you describe your motivation for 2022’s season?
  • “ I want to make the most out of my last season. I want to have as much fun with my team as I can and do my best at state with my partner.”
• Looking back on your past Tennis seasons, what has been one of your favorite memories from school tennis?
  • “Van rides up with the team are always the best. Someone’s always singing, someone’s always talking, everyone’s always having a good time.”
• Do you have any further plans for your career in tennis?
  • “I love tennis and want to keep playing casually, but I probably won’t go play anywhere for college.”
