Athlete Spotlight-Weeraratne

Weeraratne qualified for sectionals in the 100 butterfly at a meet in late January. She also helped qualify the team’s 200 and 400 freestyle relays. “More than just being a good swimmer, Oneli is a great teammate,” coach MaryLauren Burke gushed. “She is always a ray of positivity on our team and is always looking for ways to improve. Her teammates flock to her and seem to always want to be around her. Additionally, Oneli is a great athlete. When given feedback, she is appreciative and applies that knowledge quickly and effectively. If she doesn’t understand something, she will spend time working on it to make sure she gets the most out of her time.”

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.
