Season of dominance

For the first time since 1991, the Men’s Tennis team finished first in the Pacific Coast Conference.

“This year was unreal,” said tennis Coach Mike Hootner.

Coach Hootner felt very confident about the strength of his team at the beginning of the year and their strength was shown over the entire year.

The Olympians had an overall record of 12-3 and they went 10-0 in league play. Throughout this season the Olympians have shown overall dominance. Last year the Olympians’ record was 9-8 with a conference record of 8-6. That is much of an improvement.

“I’m very proud of them,” said Coach Hootner. “To go 10-0 in conference play is rare and they should be very proud of this rare and wonderful accomplishment.”

These players are a true team. Everybody on this team contributed to their success. There was not only one star on the team. Whether it came to singles matches or double matches it was evident that everyone was together as one.

“It was a magical year,” said Hootner. “The players made each other better, cared about one another and improved as the year went on.”

From April 23 to April 26 the Olympians traveled to Ventura, California to participate in the Ojai Tournament. The Olympians won three of their matches in the tournament, which is a huge success. Also, six of the Mesa’s players qualified for the SoCal Regional Tournament.

There was more success shown in the SoCal Regional tournament. Mesa won two more of its matches.

Look for this young team to continue their dominance next season as seven players will be returning.
