Kellenberg Memorial High School Athlete Wins Award at Spring Sports Banquet

Chris McGorty is the tennis equivalent of a “gym rat”. His love and enthusiasm for the game of tennis come through every moment he is on the court. Whether hitting with his singles teammates to prepare for his own matches, or working with a less-gifted teammate on the mechanics of a backhand volley, Chris is all about the team, in a sport that rewards individual success. Chris has been a starting varsity tennis player for 4 years running, first at doubles, then the last 3 years as a singles player. For the past 2 seasons, he was a seeded player at the CHSAA Individual Tournament, this year advancing to the quarter-finals. His commitment to improving has resulted in his winning more matches than anyone in KMHS history. Congratulations to this year’s Bernie Ward Commitment Award winner, Chris McGorty. This speech was written by head coach Chris Grennen.
