Nathaniel Le went 27-3 in the Freeway League this year. Le placed second for doubles with his partner Timothy Chung at their final tournament. Tennis coach Akhom Inthavong describes Nate’s leadership. “He mostly leads by example,” Inthavong said. “He's really helped his doubles partner who's a freshman. So being a freshman, playing with a senior normally he would freak out, but Nate really took them under his wing, made them feel comfortable.”
