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."
