I took multivariable calculus with Parker (with a professor who didn't change his shirt all semester, no joke, but I digress...), and she is definitely deserving of the award. One small correction: Parker finished with a singles record of 31-17, not 20-14 as said in the article. But yeah, she's smart. And clearly has started a great program. She's also very short, which makes her tennis all the more impressive. I never got to play her in tennis myself, but I played with somebody who played with her quite a bit. I'm always impressed with varsity athletes who excel in the classroom at such a high level. It's not an easy thing to do, especially when you take rigorous courses as Parker did - she definitely did not have a cupcake schedule.
Congratulations!
