Grace Van Houtte Senior Hinsdale When did you start playing water polo? I first started playing competitively when I was a sophomore.

Elyssa Chandler Senior Hinsdale When did track become a pursuit? Freshman year. I'd never really considered track, but people encouraged me to try out for a sport. I ended up doing track. I like the atmosphere of the team. It was nice to be pushed to do something new. Did you expect to become a hurdler? Never. I was interested by it but I also got impatient because of all the drills. We practiced on lower hurdles and one day I decided to run full speed at the 30-inch hurdles....

Jakobi Lange Senior Hinsdale What's your earliest memory of playing volleyball? In middle school we were playing a conference game and I remember hitting a ball down the line and it went straight into this kid's face. When did you realize it was a sport you wanted to pursue? It wasn't until after freshman year because I was still also playing basketball. But I was missing a lot of basketball because of volleyball practice, so I had to choose.
