10 Question<br />
with Alexandra Gehrs<br />
Gehrs is a key contributor<br />
on the Glenbrook North<br />
girls water polo team.<br />
When and why did<br />
you start playing<br />
water polo?<br />
I just started because I<br />
didn’t have a spring sport<br />
and I wanted to try it and I<br />
fell in love with it.<br />
What do you like most<br />
about the sport?<br />
I love the competitiveness<br />
of it and the team aspect.<br />
Do you have any<br />
superstitions before a<br />
game?<br />
I definitely get some<br />
sprinting in before the<br />
swimoffs.<br />
What is one thing<br />
people don’t know<br />
about you?<br />
People probably don’t<br />
know that I’m a swimmer.<br />
I was on the varsity swim<br />
team this year and last year<br />
and I guess when I come<br />
out and play polo, they<br />
don’t know I swim too.<br />
If you were a<br />
superhero, what<br />
superpower would you<br />
want?<br />
I would just want to fly,<br />
it’s pretty sick.<br />
What would you do if<br />
you won the lottery?<br />
I would put it away for<br />
college and save it.<br />
If you could play<br />
another sport, what<br />
would it be?<br />
I would say soccer since<br />
Michal dwojak/22nd century media<br />
I grew up playing it and<br />
it came to a point where I<br />
had to choose travel soccer<br />
or travel swimming,<br />
and I chose swimming. If<br />
it weren’t for the same season,<br />
I would still play.<br />
What is your favorite<br />
area restaurant?<br />
I like to go to Marcello’s<br />
for the pasta. Pasta Alfredo<br />
with chicken is the best.<br />
What is one thing on<br />
your bucket list?<br />
I want to go camping in<br />
the mountains. I think that<br />
would be a lot of fun since<br />
I’m an outdoors person.<br />
If you could be any<br />
animal, which would<br />
you choose?<br />
I would be a dolphin because<br />
of the swimming.<br />
