Move In Style Athlete Spotlight: May Chen

by | Apr 30, 2025 | Featured: Sports, Sports

Athlete Spotlight-Chen

Chen won eight of her first 10 matches this season, her third straight year playing first singles. “May is one of the hardest ball strikers in the league,” shared coach Lyn Calkins. “She sets up points with her deep topspin groundstrokes. In the past year, she has become more of a patient and versatile player, coming to the net to volley to finish off points. She is skilled at analyzing her strengths and weaknesses during a match, as well as her opponent’s.” Calkins also credited Chen for demonstrating “excellent sportsmanship on the court.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
