Hermantown girls tennis coach Jessica Worden said she couldn't be more proud of star player Campbell Amundson for her dedication to continue to push herself and lead the team.
"Campbell has battled her up to No. 1 singles," Worden said Monday, as the Hawks prepared for a 4:15 match against powerful Duluth East at Longview Tennis Club in East Duluth.
Last year was Amundson's first season on the varsity team when she competed in No. 4 singles, Worden said.
"Campbell is becoming tougher and smarter every match," said Worden. "As a current junior, she will be a staple for us next year as well."
Senior captains Hannah Graves, Morgan LeValley and Kalea Homich are also elite doubles players, Worden said.
"They are strong, silent leaders, fabulous players," Worden said of the veterans. "They positively move around between one and two doubles to give the team the best chance to win. I know that I can count on them to bring everything they have regardless of what position and who their partner is that day. They truly sum up what it is to put the team first."
The Hawks will play host to Cloquet in a Lake Superior Conference match on Wednesday, at 2:30 p.m., and visit Duluth Marshall at 4:15 p.m. Thursday.
Hermantown will also host Hibbing next Monday, Duluth Denfeld Tuesday and Superior Thursday.
"We are heading into our last two weeks of our regular season with still many matches to go," said Worden. "I look forward to our team to continue to grow, learn and support each other through the playoffs."
