Spotlight Athlete: Erin Oswald
by Adam Hill



After playing against some of the best tennis players in the nation, Erin Oswald earned her way to being one of Valley top players.
Oswald has proven herself a leader by holding a spot on the varsity team for the fourth year in a row as they compete in one of the toughest leagues in Northern California. She not only spends time to make herself better, but also helps the youth. She coaches at the Junior Tennis Academy in Los Gatos and is summer coach for the Los Gatos Parks and Recreation. Always finding a way to help out where needed, Oswald loves to help the youth. Other than coaching them, she also mentors the youth in her church. However, Oswald does not stop there; she leads the bi-weekly prayer breakfast that takes place in her church. As a secretary for ASB, Oswald, seems to have a passion for helping the poor. She gives money to the program “Invisible Children,” and helps to feed the needy through the San Francisco Rescue Mission. Oswald also helps out by volunteering at the elementary camp where she led campfire programs.
What is she? A friend, a captain, a leader, and a role model. Oswald is loved and respected by her peers and teachers. A wonderful sister and daughter, Oswald is always there to help wherever it is needed. Coach Gay McLaughlin said, “I love to coach Erin. She is a joy to have on the team.” Oswald puts her heart and soul into everything she does, whether it is tennis, social life, or her walk with Christ.
