Lene Mari Bolkesjø Hovda – Tennis Student-Athlete and Norwegian National Champion

Tennis player Lene Mari Bolkesjø Hovda from Asker, Norway is currently in her last year at Saint Mary’s College of California. Lene Mari has been an integral part of the “Gaels'” women’s tennis team since she started in January 2020. This spring she is set to graduate with her bachelor’s degree and will then use her final year of eligibility to pursue a master’s degree at a university yet to be decided. We were lucky to get a chance to ask Lene Mari some questions about her National Championship victory this summer and life as a student-athlete on a tennis scholarship in the US.
