Shekhar was named a Tri-Valley League All-Star in each of his first two seasons as one of the top doubles player in the state. This year, playing singles, the captain started the season 8-1. “Though an intense and fierce competitor, Rishit possesses a quiet confidence, smiles often and has a great sense of humor both on and off the courts,” coach Mike Miller shared. “He’s one of the best, nicest, hardest-working, approachable and personable players I’ve ever had the pleasure of coaching.”

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.
