In the wake of a great season, with a team of girls who “all deserved to be there,” the varsiy Prospect girls tennis team is preparing mentally and physically to face the competition at their conference tournament, being held at Hoffman Estates this weekend.
Coach Karie McClure is confident that the team will do well in the tournament, hopefully capturing third or fourth place out of the twelve teams that will be competing.
“I think we should finish very strong [in conference],” said McClure.
In order to put Prospect’s best racquet forward at the tournament, Coach McClure has selected eleven out of the fourteen varsity players to attend the match.
The girls chosen will play one round after school on both Thursday and Friday, and continue their quest to win on Saturday.
Among the ladies chosen to represent Prospect at the conference tournament is senior Mary Clare Rosemeyer. Rosemeyer finished this season with an impressive 8-0 record.
Even with a record like that, Rosemeyer still said that tennis is more mental than skill.
“Losing matches here and there gives you motivation to win the ones that matter,” Rosemeyer said.
