2013-14

Season Summary

The 2013-2014 boys tennis season was filled with highs and lows. The team lost seven out of ten players coming into the year and was poised for a period of rebuilding.  However, with a strong freshman class, improved play from the returning players, and the addition of an upperclassman who outperformed pre-season expectations, the team finished fifth for both the regular season and the KAIAC tournament.  Senior (Capt) Jun Lee took fourth place overall for the tournament capping off an amazing six-year career on the varsity squad.  Words cannot express how significant his contributions to the team have been.  

Heading into the Far East tournament, expectations were equally questionable with only one player returning from last year's division two championship team.  After three days of play, the championship came down to a doubles match between perennial rival MC Perry and YISS' Jun Lee/Thomas Kim.  Jun and Thomas rose to the occasion, recovering from being down early in the match and pulling out the victory to ensure YISS could do no worse than tie for first place.  Jun Lee had the opportunity to pull YISS to an outright lead if he could beat a scrappy singles player from Yokota.  Playing perhaps his best tennis of the season, the boys captain dismissed his opponent in definitive fashion solidifying YISS as sole division two champions for back to back years.
