Mallory Renfro, a tennis athlete at Salina Central, was chosen as the American Family Athlete of the Month. 

“I am honored to be recognized by VYPE Magazine, I appreciate what they do for student athletes,” Renfro said.

You could find Renfro on the court during the offseason, always putting in the work to prepare for the season ahead.

“Preparing for this upcoming season I have been working out daily on and off the court,” Renfro said. “I’ve been training hard to improve in every aspect of my game.”

While hoping to make it far this season, Renfro has been really focused on making this season one to remember. 

“My goal is improving each day and enjoying the process of reaching my full potential as a person and athlete,” Renfro said. “I really enjoy my school and being around my teammates.”

While still figuring out the future, Renfro does aspire to continue playing after high school.

“I am still exploring what I want to do when I graduate, but playing collegiate tennis has always been a dream of mine,” Renfro said.
