Key West High School’s Kendall Monroe is a determined athlete who works hard to improve her bocce skills each time she steps onto the court. The rising sophomore is described by her coach, Tina Phillips, as “the light of the room” as “her infectious smile and laugh will brighten anyone’s day.”
Bocce is not the only sport Kendall excels in. In true Conch fashion, she most recently sharpened her baseball skills in a friendly game of tee ball with the Special Olympic Motor Activity Training Program (MATP) games, where she and her athlete buddy Sofia Korilova worked together to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles while forging a special friendship.
For her hard work, refusal to give up and genuine sportsmanship, Kendall Monroe is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
