This season for the Falcons, Ard went 12-6 in singles competition and 14-9 in all doubles competition.
Academically, he has a 3.4 GPA and has been accepted to all eight 4-year schools he has applied to. Ard brings unparalleled energy and positivity on and off the court. He has helped create a culture at Solano Community College that propels his teammates and coaches to want to be out there with him because he is inclusive, respectful, and has a really good-natured soul.
Over the season, several other coaches have approached Solano's Head Coach over the season and expressed how wonderful of a person he is because he always plays fairly, respects and acknowledges his opponent's great shots, and always shakes the hand of opposing coaches after the match.
