Tara Watumull '14 Recruiting Profile

I am 15 years old, my height is 5'8" and I weigh 130lbs. One of my most important accomplishments so far is making the Punahou Varsity Tennis Team as a freshman. Another extremely important accomplishment was I was awarded the Mike McKinnon Scholarship award in 2010, which goes to one person in the Middle School (approx. 1200 people). It is an award that goes to a scholar tennis player who, "exemplifies the highest standard of team sportsmanship." One thing I can offer a team is great leadership. I always look out for my teammates and have further extended my leadership skills through attending a leadership camp. I also always try my best at every practice and give my teammates my support. Given my high academic record and my commitment to tennis, in an ideal situation I would attend a school in California (like Standford) or an East Coast College, and play tennis for that college. I am looking for a mid-sized school with a high academic and athletic level, preferably an Ivy League school. My athletic goals are to play tennis at the university I attend, starting as a freshman, and all the way through college.
