Doherty Spartans spring sports season is arguably the best. During the spring season, Girls’ Tennis, Boys’ and Girls’ Track, Boys’ Swim and Dive, Boys’ baseball, Girls’ Soccer, and Boys’ Volleyball all take place.
We asked all athletes these general questions:
What was your highlight match, game, or series of the year so far? And how did it go and why?
What was your favorite part about being on your team?
Girls’ Tennis (2-6)
For Girls’ tennis we interviewed junior Addison Leasure who said her “highlight match was either against Vanguard or Chaparral” where she played her best and sadly only one went her way, but she was really proud that she “kept competing and never gave up.”
Track
For track we interviewed sophomore Laron Donald, senior Chad Svenby, and sophomore Elliana Adam’s. Laron’s highlight was his “high jump where I broke 6ft” at the Spartan Invitational and his favorite part was “the environment and connections the team had not just to do good at the meet but as a team.”
