The student-faculty tennis tournament gave the tennis players and the teachers an opportunity to have some fun outside the classroom May 15.

Ten teams competed with junior Oscar De La Torre and German teacher Sara Gutierrez winning first place.

“Oscar is an awesome partner and although the competition was tough, we pulled through an intense match. We communicated really well together on court and it helped us make a great mixed doubles team,” Gutierrez said. “It was so fun seeing all the staff and student players come together.”

Gutierrez has a background in tennis, having played in high school, college and casually in Germany and with the United States Tennis Association.

“I thought it was really cool to see our teachers out there having fun with us,” De La Torre said.
