Highlights: Team Record at PLU: 4-2 Major: Finance & Accounting Pro Yu-Gi-Oh! Player

This season was Michael Larson's first and last season as a tennis player at PLU, but he is still incredibly grateful for his athletic experience.
 
Larson expressed gratitude for how welcoming his teammates and coaches were at the beginning of the season. Although his only season as a tennis player was cut short, Larson will always be thankful for the chance to play tennis.
 
"The past year has taught me to always appreciate the opportunities I have," Larson said. "This season was cut short which is heartbreaking but I keep a positive attitude by appreciating the moments I did have." 
 
Outside of athletics, Larson is the Chief Operations Officer of the Regent's Student Investment fund, the RAAD of Pflueger Hall, and an admissions ambassador. He is also a professional Yu-Gi-Oh! player.
 
"Michael is a great gentlemen! He's very likeable and just a good guy. I really appreciated his want to learn and absorb everything he could about tennis and work hard every day," said Head Coach John Campbell.
 
Larson will be graduating with a degree in Finance and Accounting, and will be working in the financial services industry in Washington. In his free time, Larson plans to launch a web application that tracks secondary financial markets for trading card games.
