For two straight years, the Savannah Arts Academy girl's tennis team has reached the state playoffs. This 2015 season the Lady Panthers took it one step further and reached the Class AAA Elite eight. One reason was because of sophomore Sara Putman, who went 5-0 in Georgia High School Association tournament play. On the year, Sara finished undefeated with a 19-0 record. That’s why she is this week's Wetherington Chiropractic Clinic Athlete of the Week for May 23, 2015.

Sara has an amazing two-year high school record, 37-0. Putman has won the Savannah Morning News Girls Tennis Player of the Year two years in a row. “Sara has a lot of patients; she is focused, and she knows how to control the match she is in," said Head Coach Karin Best. “She is simply amazing. She sets up her points by thinking ahead. She knows how to play the game.” Sara will continue to play this summer through the United States Tennis Association events in her respective age group.

     DeLoach now has made a very impressive collection of winner’s medals over her three-year participation at the GHSA state track meets. Taylor has won six gold medals, two in the long jump, two in the 100-meter dash, and two in the 200-meter dash and that’s in her sophomore and junior track seasons. Add in her freshman medals, a silver medal in the long jump and a bronze in the 200 meter her medal winning is getting bigger and bigger, and she still has her senior year left at St. Vincent’s.

     Besides all these medals, Taylor is receiving a lot of interest from some of the top college programs in the country. Which are all over the country from the west coast's Pac-12 top Track & Field programs to the east coast teams in the SEC and ACC. It is going to be a big signing party when Taylor decides where she will be taking her track & field talents at the next level.
