Michelle's tennis: Michelle is a danger on the court--not only to others, but to herself as she claims the title for the klutziest person on the team. She is also dangerous to her opponents as shown by her catfight track record. She has taken on players and coaches alike, scaring everyone she goes up against. Our assistant coach has never quite been the same since Michelle hit him in a hurtful area during practice. Oh, and her tennis skills intimidate people too.

Fun facts about Michelle: She used to be a hippie and still owns some hemp jewelry... Has taken styling tips from the men's tennis team since chopping off her hair... She will only wear New Balance tennis shoes. No one is sure why... Her favorite movie is Cats and Dogs because she loves any disturbing stuffed animal that moves, sings, or talks... She is permanently attached to her cell phone... She is late to everything... Her favorite practice attire is something Coach Hilary calls the "born in the USA" outfit... She has a Boston Terrier called Buckwheat and now cries out "Buckwheat" every single time she sees one... Up until last year, she still used the ThunderLite racquet.
