WWAY Student Athlete of the Week: Emma Tholen

South Brunswick senior captain isn't letting an injury stop her from leading on and off the court

BOILING SPRING LAKES (WWAY) – This week’s student athlete of the week is powering through adversity and doing her best to not let it affect her.

Emma Tholen is a senior on the South Brunswick volleyball team. This year she has sustained knee and shoulder injuries that have kept her off the court.

She is persevering through her role as a leader. On top of her National Honor’s Society involvement and 4.5 GPA, she works and volunteers in her free time. She also has ambitions of playing at the next level and is hoping to attend an out of state school.

After College, Tholen wants to use her combination of loving numbers and sports and become a sports analyst.
