Julia Sherman is a senior and a doubles tennis player at Kapaun Mt. Carmel High School. Tennis is a big part of her life. Sherman loves to compete and represent Kapaun while cheering on her teammates. Her doubles partner is more than just a teammate on the court.

“My teammates mean a lot to me. They are always watching and cheering even during their matches. My doubles partner Jackie means the most. She’s always super positive and just great to be around on the court,” said Sherman. “The thing I love the most about being an athlete at Kapaun is being able to play my favorite around the best people. The tennis team is like one big family and has some of the best girls to be around.”

Once she graduates, Sherman would like to play tennis at the next level, but she is considering attending college at Newman or UMKC.

Every year of high school is full of great memories for Sherman. One stands out about them all.

“My favorite memory as a student athlete is playing in the finals at City League my junior year. I was the last match on and had to play under the lights on a stadium court at WSU. everyone was there watching and cheering me on,” said Sherman.
