Amber Lee, a freshman at Miramonte high school, finished first runner-up out of 32 nationally ranked players at the United States Tennis Association's National Level 2 event (Girls 16 & under division) held in Stockton on Oct. 9.

After the tournament, Lee said, "Overall, I had a very good tournament, and I'm delighted finishing second in the competition. At the same time, I am aware of the gap between the top players in the country and myself. I have to improve on the tactical and mental aspects of the game in order for me to compete more effectively against this top group of players in the future. I look forward to improving on my focus and concentration."

Lee will now turn her attention back to high school tennis in November, as the Miramonte girls tennis team tries to finish strong in one of their best seasons ever under Coach Michael McCollom.
