Katharine Carignan '22 Recruiting Profile

I'm tough, hard-working and competitive. 2019 was my first season as a high school athlete, and we finished an undefeated season as the D-III State Champions.  I was the number 1 ranked varsity player and received the "Rookie of the Year" award.   My doubles partner and I were ranked number 2, we were undefeated and qualified for the New Hampshire All-State Championships. I was also nominated as an individual player for the New Hampshire Seacoast All-Stars Female Tennis Player of the Year. 

Several years ago my first tennis coach - Kyle Littlefield - told me "[his] goal is to make good people first, good tennis players second". This is something I gravitated to, believe in, and repeat often.  I worked a number of summers as a junior staff member at Littlefield Tennis assisting younger players to not only improve their tennis skills, but also to become good people leading by example.  I thoroughly enjoy a close player/coach dynamic and am open - yet strategic - about adopting new skills into my level of play.  Most of all, I just love the game!  

I attend St. Thomas Aquinas High School a competitive, private, parochial school in Dover, NH maintaining a 3.28 GPA and intend to pursue a bachelor's degree in psychology.
