Elise and her doubles partner Lily Ingram qualified for the state tennis tournament in doubles and finished in the top 16 with a record of 3-2 in the state tournament.
"I have been playing tennis for as long as I can remember recreationally and I would attend camps at my high school when I was in elementary and middle school," Elise said. "The thing I like most about tennis is that it is a great sport to get your mind off of other things, and you can compete independently, but at the same time be a part of a team. I also love the opportunity that we have to make new friends from other schools at matches and tournaments."
Elise thanked her parents, grandparents, and coach Dan Diamond for always cheering her on and guiding her.
"My parents and grandparents followed me no matter how far they had to travel," she said. " I would also like to thank my coach Dan Diamond for always believing in me, keeping me calm, and teaching me lessons in tennis, but in life as well. Finally, I would like to thank my teammates for being the best cheerleaders, no matter the circumstances."
