Varsity tennis player Julia Mehlman '21 has been selected by the Holton Athletic Association (HAA) as "Panther of the Week" for the performance and composure she has shown as a freshmen.
The Holton tennis team has a long standing tradition of success. This success doesn't come without the hard work and dedication of the athletes and their coaches. Since the first days of preseason, Mehlman differentiated herself, not only by being a freshmen, but by her play on the court.
After making the varsity team, she was paired up with senior captain Kat Soltany '18 and competed as a doubles pair. In the last couples of weeks, Mehlman has shown that she could not only hang in the big league, but could bring home the win against league opponents National Cathedral and Flint Hill.
"She matured greatly in a matter of weeks and is poised to be a tough competitor to watch. I am looking forward for more great matches from her," her coaches commented.
