The last pitch of our Glen Cove game when there were bases loaded and we were up by one and I struck out the last guy, winning the game. Everyone was going crazy and the bus ride back was awesome because everyone was having a good time.

What is your favorite high school sports memory?

Spring track sophomore year at the County Championship - I was not expecting to win. However, I threw a huge personal record which allowed me to become the Shot Put County Champion. Winning as the underdog is simply an unmatched feeling.

What are you most looking forward to about continuing your athletic career?

I am looking forward to bettering myself as an athlete to the best of my abilities, while creating new lasting friendships because of the sport.

I would like to thank Coach Stephen Honerkamp for introducing me to the sport. Without him I probably would not have joined the team in the first place. Therefore, I would have never had all of the opportunities that track and field has provided for me.

Yonathan Glattman, SUNY Oneonta, Tennis

What was your favorite high school sports memory?

Going to the Counties Tournament to represent my team.

What are you most looking forward to about continuing your athletic career?

I am very excited to be continuing my athletic career as a student athlete because of my love and passion for the sport. I am excited to embark on a new journey with my new college teammates as we tackle the competition that comes our way.

I would like to thank my tennis coach, Jeff, who was my first ever coach and made me a better player with his wisdom and advice. I would also like to thank my current tennis coach, Dave, who has been playing with me for years now and has given me great advice as I move onto college. My high school tennis coach, Abby Samlin, of course. She motivated me so much and taught me valuable lessons daily, on and off the court, so I really would like to thank her for that. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents for the time and money they have put into letting me play the sport that I love most. Without them recommending the sport to me or letting me join weekly tournaments, I would not be the player that I am today. Once again, I would like to thank all these people for really contributing to my growth as a tennis player and student athlete.
