Queen of the Court; Anastacia Medearis spreads her love of tennis to teammates

Dedicating most of her after school and weekend time to Paso Robles High School Varsity Tennis, the junior Anastacia Medearis comes to practice ready to work hard and give 110%. Medearis is always contacting her coach Laura Clowes for extra practice in order to improve her individual skills and help to benefit the team.

“She continues to improve her game and fitness. She wants to succeed with their game as well as bringing the win to our team,” Clowes said.

Her passion for tennis was jumpstarted by her grandparents love for the game. Madearis now dreams of playing in college and hopefully professionally. She hopes to spread her love of the game to teammates who care as much about the program and she does.

“ I like to keep my spirits up because it is infectious. My goal is to always keep them active, productive, and in a good mood,” Medearis said.

Medearis resembles a team leader who gives nothing but her time and effort into PRHS Varsity Tennis.

“She is always practicing, she is always trying her hardest. Saturdays she is there, she goes before practice has even started and goes with coach sometimes, she is always practicing,” teammate Stephanie Abarca said.

The success of the tennis team is increased by players such as Madearis. She has had a positive impact on the team, who supports and encourages her dedication.
