| Coach Matt Kraynyak and Alex Hsu |
A high honors student and captain of Hill’s varsity boys’ squash team, Alex Hsu has been an asset to his team as well as to his coach this year. This fall, he will join the men’s squash team at Brown University.
“He is having a great season considering the quality of his opponents this season,” says Head Coach Matt Kraynyak ’96. “It would be easy to get frustrated when you are facing opponents ranked in the top 20 in U19 (under 19 years of age) squash, but Alex has fought through and played some excellent squash. At nationals last weekend (February 6 to 8, 2009), he stepped on the court knowing that his team needed a win to play in the championship match on Sunday. He carried the team on his back and won 3-1, which placed his team in the finals against Brunswick’s C team. He has been my greatest asset as a coach: hard working, accountable, and inspiring to his teammates. They will miss his steady demeanor and work ethic next season.”
