The Hamilton Heights girls tennis team is honoring its two senior co-captains, Caitlin Hartwick and Gwendolyn Kelley.
Huskies coach Wayne Rupe provided information to the Reporter. Rupe said that the leadership of Hartwick and Kelley “will be sorely missed.”
Rupe said that Hartwick “has thoroughly been a joy to coach” during his time at Hamilton Heights. “I sincerely miss her laugh at practices. There is never a dull moment when Cailtin is around.
In addition to being co-captain and a two-year letter winner for the tennis team, Hartwick also was on the Huskies’ soccer sectional championship team. She won the Presidential volunteer award and was the Heisman High School winner. Hartwick said her favorite moment on the team was playing doubles with Kelley: “We would tell jokes at each changeover so that we would keep smiling no matter what the score was at the time!” She plans to attend Indiana Wesleyan University to study nursing.
