Annie Wise: Varsity Basketball and Tennis Player

By Abby Holland

Sophomore Annie Wise always dreamed of playing her two favorite sports in college. Her dream came true at Trinity.

Wise is one of the few dual sport athletes at Trinity, playing for both Trinity’s women’s basketball and tennis team. “It’s really important to have a blessed unrest about who you are as an athlete and to understand that it’s really humbling to get to be apart of two teams,” she says.

There was an air of inevitability late in the fourth quarter for the Tigers, verging on a storybook second straight comeback win. And then they lost.

On Sunday, third-seeded Texas Lutheran University managed to hang on in their home gym for their first SCAC Championship since 2014 by a final score of 68-62. The first-seeded Tigers trailed by 15 points at one juncture, and they never seemed out of it.

Just as the Tigers are fast on land, they also dominate in the pool. After a long and successful season, Trinity University women’s swim team took home on Saturday the title as SCAC Champs for the 16th year in a row, beating long-time rival Colorado College by 102 points in the final meet. 

Trinity men’s team came up short to rival Southwestern University and finished 2nd, losing their 7-year winning streak.

The fourth and final day of the 2019 SCAC Swimming & Diving Championship Meet started off with a bang, as junior Jacob Hurrell-Zitelman captured gold in men's 1650-yard freestyle, being the first SCAC swimmer in history to win the event three times in a row.

At the end of the 2016-2017 regular season, which ended ​last week, Trinity men’s basketball team achieved a record of 12-13. This was a great improvement from last year’s record of 10-16, and much better than their 2014-2015 season record of 5-20.

The story of the team overcoming adversities and becoming, once again, a winning team, can be seen as a prime example of how a team can face challenges and still find a way to positive team chemistry and victories.

After two straight losing seasons (2014 through 2016) and the struggle to end the win drought, the team faced a lot of adversity. This was a new situation for a team that not long ago had won three straight conference championships. They learned to maintain a positive attitude amid negativity. They learned to have patience, trust the process, and work their way to improve every year, until their 12-13 season this year.
