With the tennis season coming to an end, Gleneagles’s Tennis team has gone through a learning experience of a season.
On May 13th Gleneagle earned second place to Pinetree secondary in the AAA Fraser North tennis championship, consisting of Tri-Cities, New Westminster, and Burnaby. With this victory, Gleneagle moved forward into the provincial tourney, in Victoria on May 25th-28th.
“With our Team, consisting of a lot of first years, making it to the provincials was already a win for us,” said Teacher and Coach Yamada Etsuko. “It was all of our first time going to provincials, so it was lots of fun!” said Hanson Zhou grade 10.
The team had a memorable time in Victoria, “I loved the ocean view from our bnb and playing hide and seek in the dark!” said Corinna Zenger grade 10
Through a fun and memorable time, Gleneagle had a rough time at the beginning of the tourney, and in the end, out of twelve amazing teams, Gleneagle came in seventh place overall in the provincial tournament.
The team came back optimistically with their results, “Now that we know the expectations of what it takes and how the season goes, we will have great preparation for next year” Yamada added, “It was a really good experience for us, for a team with new players, we will come back stronger next year” said Nicole Tang grade 9.
After the tournament, the team is still together practicing as a team and as a group of friends! “When we played together, we felt and communicated more like friends, than just a team!” added Hanson, Malin Falkers grade 11 ended it with, “We are searching for more players for next year’s team!”
