Girls Tennis Profile: Jenna Murray

By Cammie Lattimer

The Darien High School Varsity Girls Tennis tryouts began yesterday with Coach Davin GeBauer. The team had a strong season last year under senior Abby Becker, and this year’s captains are hoping for an even better record this spring. Senior captains Jenna Murray and Sarah Alptekin are looking forward to getting the season started.
Murray is the number 1 singles player, and has been on Varsity since her freshman year. “I am really excited  for this upcoming season because I will be playing a bunch of my friends from other schools who I play throughout the year in practice and in tournaments and it’s always fun and good competition to play them during the high school season. Also since this is my senior year, I’m hoping to have it be our team’s best season ever, and to have a better personal record than last year” said Murray. 

She is a year-round tennis player at Intensity Club in Norwalk and is recruited to play at Kenyon College next spring. She has played tennis competitively since she was 12 years old, and is excited to continue the sport for the next 4 years. 

The Girls Tennis Team’s first scrimmage is on April 1st against Weston, with their hardest match against Greenwich on April 3rd. Good luck to Murray and the girls this season!
