Cece Lesnick won the Somerset County Tournament’s Sportsmanship Award. Tournament Director Michael Hoppe wrote in a letter that Cece “continuously displayed sportsmanship and class throughout the tournament. She complimented winning shots, she hugged her opponents after a well-played match, and [she] was one of the first ones on the court congratulating or consoling a Pingry player after a match. She represented [T]he Pingry School, the tennis team, her family, and herself with such dignity and grace… Sportsmanship and positive winning attitudes are contagious. I congratulate Cece for being a good tennis player, but, more importantly, a better person. I salute her for being a positive role model and representing The Pingry School with the highest standards of sportsmanship and professionalism.”
