I’m Meredith Deane, a committed tennis player from Arkansas, currently ranked in the top 85 in the state. I’ve earned two state letters in my first three years of tennis and continue pushing hard to break into the top 30 by the end of summer. I train 6–8 hours on some days, combining high-performance workouts, strength training, and plyometrics. I also coach younger players and work at a tennis club, giving back to the sport that’s shaped who I am.
I balance this with a 3.7 GPA and will graduate high school with an associate degree through dual enrollment. I plan to study marketing or political science. Balancing intense training, school, and two jobs has made me disciplined, focused, and adaptable under pressure.
Whether I walk on or earn a spot, I’m looking for a program where I can compete, grow, and contribute. I’m ready to show up, work hard, and bring something real to the team.
