From the sidelines<\/strong>: Why does this student deserve to be Athlete of the Week? Landon Phan deserves to be the Athlete of the Week because he is an outstanding athlete and always has the best attitude! He had a super tough draw at district and never once said anything negative about it! He said that he was going to go out and do his best and he played amazing and placed 6th in the district to make it to the state tournament in May. He won almost all of his matches during the season and never missed a practice or a match. He and his doubles teammates were the only players to make it to state from the NPSL (North Puget Sound League). He is also a 4 point student and is so wonderful to coach! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
