Congratulations to this week’s<br />
Athlete of the Week.<br />
We’re pleased to be a<br />
sponsor of this program.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Herbst is a senior and key<br />
contributor on the Glenbrook<br />
North girls water<br />
polo team.<br />
When and why did<br />
you start playing<br />
water polo?<br />
I stated because someone<br />
in my religious education<br />
class told me that<br />
I wouldn’t be that good<br />
in it while I was in eighth<br />
grade.<br />
What do you like most<br />
about the sport?<br />
I like how it’s never the<br />
same twice. There’s so<br />
much you can do with it.<br />
Even if you run the same<br />
play, it’s never the same<br />
twice so you have so many<br />
options.<br />
Do you have any<br />
superstitions before a<br />
game?<br />
We jump in the water at<br />
the same time as a team,<br />
that’s really important<br />
to me. I feel like we play<br />
better when we start as a<br />
team.<br />
What is one thing<br />
people don’t know<br />
about you?<br />
People don’t know that I<br />
don’t like lunch meats.<br />
What is your favorite<br />
sports moment?<br />
Last year we beat Highland<br />
Park, we were down<br />
by two and there were 30<br />
seconds left. We had a<br />
shot, got back on defense,<br />
got the steal and we ended<br />
up winning the game.<br />
If you were a<br />
superhero, what<br />
superpower would you<br />
want?<br />
I would want to breathe<br />
underwater.<br />
What would you do if<br />
you won the lottery?<br />
I would save some of<br />
it for college and then I<br />
would go get ice cream.<br />
What is one thing on<br />
your bucket list?<br />
I want to go skydiving.<br />
What is your favorite<br />
area restaurant?<br />
I would say Chick-fil-a.<br />
If you could be any<br />
animal, which would<br />
you choose?<br />
I would be a treefrog because<br />
they look pretty innocent,<br />
but I feel like they<br />
have secret talents you<br />
don’t know.<br />
