Class of 2013 (Junior/Sophomore)
Coach’s Corner – Dylan is an unbelievable addition to the 2011 team. With an infectious smile and quick wit, Dylan is a joy to be around. A transfer from DI University of Idaho, Dylan is soaking up all that Whitman has to offer. And don’t let Dylan’s slight build fool you — he has one heck of a HUGE serve. In fact its down right spooky big. Makes me think of “Nuke” LaLoosh (every sports fan should know the character “Nuke” if not google it). Maybe I’ll have him aim at the mascot one day!
Like all new student-athletes, Dylan hasn’t had much of an opportunity to compete on the court. In the regional ITA’s Dylan won his first singles match before losing in three sets to a seeded player.
What a great addition to the tennis program and team and I’m so glad he joined our tennis family.
