“It makes me happy. Making new friends and seeing the talent others have is just exciting. I’ve been playing for so long and I’ve learned to love the sport and want to get better to pursue it. It’s ana amazing feeling to see people support you doing the thing you love, so it makes me happy,” Wortman said.
