Age: 12, Marco Forster Middle School

Teresa O’Connor has become known as “the little powerhouse” on the Marco Forster Middle School Surf team. The sixth-grader is highly regarded by both coaches and teammates for her exceptional team spirit and willingness to do whatever it takes to contribute to her team in competition. Whether she is asked to ride a shortboard or a longboard, Teresa attacks both with equal enthusiasm. “Teresa is aggressive, willing and able to ride shortboard or longboard, and charges either way,” said Coach Carol Weinhardt. “She is a great asset to the team and a great team player. We are looking forward to her leadership in building our girls team for the future.” In the Scholastic Surf Series (SSS) Orange County Middle School series, Teresa is climbing the ranks in both disciplines. Before her appearance on the finalist’s podium at the January 8 event in Huntington Beach she was rated No. 12 in Girls Shortboard and No. 5 in Girls Longboard. She is now three-for-three, having made the finals in every event so far this season. Teresa is no slacker in school either and is regularly recognized for her high academic achievement by appearing on the Superintendent’s Honor Roll. Keep up the great work Teresa!
