When thinking of the EA middle school girls squash team, one would assume the top four players would all be eighth graders, however the top four consists of three seventh graders and one sixth graders. These individuals are Julia Thompson, Madison Soukup, Colby Gallagher, and Grace Doyle. Every day they amaze us all with their super squash skills. We were fortunate enough to have an interview with all of the girls, getting the inside scoop on the middle school girls A team squash.
1) When asking the girls about how they felt about leading the team as seventh and sixth graders, they responded with adjectives like exhilarating and pressuring. They went on to say that they are never intimidated by members on the squash team that are older than them.
2) Colby Gallagher, Julia Thompson, and Madison Soukup are all close friends so it is extra tense on the court. The girls said that when on the court they show no mercy, and don’t take their friendships into consideration, but when the match is over, they’re “best friends again”.
3) All of the girls in the top four say that Princeton is their dream college and they all hope to go there and play squash.
4) Lastly, when asked the question what order do you think you’ll be in when juniors and seniors, they answered probably about the same order in what they are now, depending on how much each girl improves.
