Elizabete Klavinska, an incoming freshman at Drake University, is one of Drake women’s tennis’ newest members. Klavinska, from Latvia, said she is extremely excited to be in America for the first time and attend Drake.
Klavinska was introduced to Drake by her agent, who had already been in contact with former head coach Kristina Lott.
“I am coming to Drake because the women’s tennis program and academic level is very high here,” Klavinska said. “Also, the connection with coach Kristina made me want to be here.”
Klavinska looks forward to meeting the new coaches and other girls on the team, and she expressed her excitement to study psychology with a minor in sociology.
