Freshmen Stephanie Lin sports Ireton best record at 5-2 in the current tennis campaign.
The Alexandria Sportsman’s Club announced Monday that they have selected Bishop Ireton tennis freshman Stephanie Lin as their female athlete of the month for October. She will be honored at their monthly meeting Tuesday, Oct 16th at the Dominion Boat Club in Old Town Alexandria. The Club meets 10 times a month and honors city high school athletes through the academic year and culminates the program with a gala in May naming their athletes of the year and awarding college scholarships at the dinner.
The lanky freshman from Falls Church, Virginia, is currently playing the number 4 singles and number 2 doubles for the Cardinals. Her 5-2 record is the team’s best and it includes wins over St Johns, Paul VI, and Episcopal. Coach Katie Sloper says Lin has her best tennis in front of her and lauds her work ethic and heady play. With three more seasons ahead of Lin, Sloper believes the future for Ireton tennis is on a firm foundation after seeing six seniors depart the program to graduation in the spring of 2012.
The Ireton freshman is the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Michael Lin.
