While COVID-19 has forced most athletes at the University of San Diego to postpone their seasons and or significantly alter their training routines, two Torero tennis players have managed to continue competing in spite of the pandemic. Redshirt junior August Holmgren has been competing in his native country of Denmark since June, and redshirt sophomore Solymar Colling played in the International Tennis Association Summer Nationals in early August.
Due to the more relaxed health restrictions in Denmark, Holmgren has been free to practice with his club team and compete regularly.
“I’ve been playing as many tournaments as I possibly could since I got home because I didn’t know how long that would be possible,” Holmgren said.
