Season Summary

The varsity boys tennis team had a solid season, with many players finishing near the top of the KAIAC conference standings. With four new members on the team and three returning juniors, the team was in somewhat of a rebuilding year. However, captain and number 1 singles player Ian Choi had a strong season and finished second in conference play and 3rd in the KAIAC tournament. Number 2 singles David Lee and number 3 Daniel Kang both had strong regular seasons, finishing third in the conference and third at KAIAC.

The Far East team of Ian Choi, David Lee, Daniel Kang, Joshua Park, Ashley Koo, Erica Cho, Hyunjung Cho and Irene Gil all produced strong results at the tournament held at Kadena AFB in Okinawa, Japan. In boys singles play, Ian finished a strong 3rd, while David finished 6th. In boys doubles, Ian and David won the championships with a solid victory over St. Mary’s of Tokyo. Daniel and Joshua also had a strong tournament, finishing 4th in doubles. In mixed doubles play, Daniel and partner Hyunjung Cho made a great pairing and finished in 3rd place. Freshman Joshua Park and partner Erica Cho (Echo) also had a very good tournament in mixed doubles play, finishing a very respectable 5th place.

The boys team narrowly missed winning the team title and finished a close second. With strong outcomes across all teams, YISS was able to win the overall division one team title for the second year in a row. Congratulations to all players!
