Yellow Jersey Winner - Christoph Fuchs

The leader of the second stage of our journey is Christoph Fuchs. Christoph is a senior from LaCenter, WA who transferred to Whitman after his freshman year at U of Portland. Academically Christoph is one of the top students in his class and last year was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.

For the past couple years Christoph has been a mainstay in our doubles line-up and this weekend he had the opportunity to play #4 against LCSC and UCSC. The guys that nominated Christoph all noted his tenacity on court. In both his singles matches this weekend he lost the 1st set 2-6. However he was able to make some changes to his game plan and won in three sets against LCSC and lost in a tight second tiebreaker against UCSC. Others also noted the extra time he spends in the weight room and on court. Well earned! Another teammate noted how positive he was on the court and how much he supported those playing around him.

Christoph flying out to Baylor this weekend to interview for Medical school. If you see him on campus make sure to wish him well!
