NWC Tennis Student-Athlete of the Week for February 20-26

Conor Holton-Burke
Whitman, Senior
Boulder, Colo./Fairview HS
Holton-Burke led Whitman to two NWC victories -- extending the team's regular season winning streak against conference foes to 81 -- with two wins at No. 1 singles and a pair of doubles victories. That made Holton-Burke, who has a No. 29 national ranking in singles, the 16th player at Whitman to reach 100 career victories. One of his weekend wins at No. 1 singles was against PLU's Zach AhYat - one of the best players in the NWC - and he teamed with Matt Tesmond at No. 1 doubles to beat AhYat and Taylor Dickey.
