Abby Norris '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'11" 140 pound lefty from Kansas City, MO. I started competitively in the USTA G14s a few years ago and have consistently moved up the Missouri Valley rankings since then, while winning a few tournaments along the way.  I am a  quiet leader, as I tend to lead by example.  I work hard on whatever is in front of me: school or tennis.  As a Freshman, I played #3 on our Varsity team at Park Hill High School.  I also won the Brandon McPherson Hustle Award, as I always give my best effort, even in conditioning drills!  I was MVP for the team last year, playing #1 on the ladder.  Due to our family moving, I played for Park Hill South this past season at mostly #3.  As a team, we did very well, and I ended up All-Conference and All-District.

I want to not only play tennis in college, I want to contribute to a team in a way that helps us win championships at whatever level I play.  At this point, I plan to study in the field(s) of Psychology, Communications, Journalism, and/or Business/Entrepreneurship, I am not sure yet of my major.  My goals are to improve consistently as I contribute and eventually lead a tennis team in a school that fits.  I am open to most areas of the country, but would like to be close to my very supportive family, if possible.
