Mercer Island Shines with Senior Star Anna Mock

In the picturesque town of Mercer Island, Washington, there’s a dynamic senior making waves at Mercer Island High School (MIHS). With dreams of nursing and a competitive spirit in both academics and athletics, Anna Mock is a name to remember. This remarkable student balances a stellar 3.98 GPA with the demands of varsity basketball and soccer – doing it all with a smile.

A Season of Records and Team Spirit

Anna’s athletic prowess is hard to miss! Currently, she is not just playing for the MIHS soccer team, but she is also serving as a co-captain and holding her ground as a center back. The soccer season has kicked off splendidly with the Islanders boasting an impressive 3-1-1 overall record and a flawless 1-0-0 record to start their journey in the KingCo Mountain Conference. Junior Hayden Feimster has been leading from the front, scoring three goals already, and with fellow captains like Blakely Bourke and Jackie Gonzales by her side, Anna says the team feels more like a close-knit family than just players on a field.

Excelling in Multiple Arenas

As if being a co-captain isn’t enough, Anna also set a school record last season in basketball for her stellar free throw percentage, hitting 87% throughout the season! With the soccer season wrapping up, she’s ready to jump back into her fourth year of varsity basketball, demonstrating her love for the game and her commitment to excelling regardless of the sport.

Focused on the Future

But Anna is not just about sports; she is also a passionate student. She dreams of making a difference in people’s lives and intends to pursue a degree in nursing once she heads off to college. All those hours spent preparing for exams and practicing on the field are backed by a faithful work ethic and her belief in controlling what she can – her attitude and effort. This philosophy has been instilled by her father and is integral to how she approaches every challenge.

Life Outside of School

When she isn’t scoring goals or acing tests, Anna enjoys spending her time with friends and binging on her favorite TV shows like “Stranger Things” and “The Office”. Her fun side even shows in her choice of celebrity; she would love to dine with Justin Bieber! However, Anna has a quirky pet peeve – she can’t stand loud breathing noises, especially snoring, which could definitely make for some humorous moments in her future dorm life!

Wanderlust and Family Ties

Traveling holds a special place in Anna’s heart, especially as she wishes to connect more with her Greek heritage. Learning Greek is on her to-do list, mainly to communicate better with her cousins and grandparents living in Canada and back home in Greece. If she could have any superpower, it would undoubtedly be to teleport – not just for the sake of ease but to visit her beloved family more often and maybe explore those beautiful Greek islands in the process.

A Rising Star

As Anna Mock continues to shine bright throughout her senior year at MIHS, her story is a testament to what a blend of hard work, determination, and passion can achieve. From school records to future ambitions, Anna is navigating her high school experience like a pro, proving that with the right mindset, students can do it all. So, here’s to Anna, a local hero who represents the best of Mercer Island – a spirited athlete, a diligent student, and an inspiring individual on the rise!
