With the beginning of Feb. also comes the beginning of the countdown to tennis tryouts. As of Feb. 5, there are only six conditionings left, and 31 days until tryouts are set to begin on the year-old tennis courts.

Tennis players have been going to morning conditionings since Oct., and it is finally about to come to a close. Weather and holiday permitting, conditionings have been held on every Tues. and Thurs. morning at 6:00 am. They do several running and cardio exercises.

“I like conditioning, but I am glad that the season is finally almost here,” said sophomore Regis Liou.

Coach Michael Teets, along with captains seniors Alex Wittenbaum, Nakul Narendran, and Deepak Indrakanti have been sending emails to SHS tennis players every week with the countdown, to keep players motivated, and to show how quickly tryouts arrive.

This year, the Varsity A team hopes to defend a state title that they won in Jun. 2014. Varsity B and JV also look to defend very good seasons.
