Achievements: Peter is the current head of the Harvard Badminton Club. In this role, his crowning achievement was when he increased the number of Badminton days to 5 days a week. Peter was too shy to mention is other achievements, such as winning the 1997 Connecticut Open Doubles Tournament as well as this year's Southern Maine Junior Open Tournament in U21 Boys Singles. He is also the reigning Massachusetts State Champion for C singles and D mixed-doubles.
Goals: Peter is less shy about his ambitions. He says, "In Play: To own Tristan. [guy from Williams College who beat Peter at the Smith Harvard Tournament... ed] Then, by Jun '98, Frank Yang. [current undergrad singles champ (or chump) at Harvard... ed] Finally Dave Wong by June '00." [Some dreams will always be out of reach ...ed] In the World at Large: To indoctrinate the Harvard Undergrads...to forge, not a team, but a nation...oh yes. One day, one glorious day, the Harvard Badminton Club (to be known as the HBC) will be even greater than the Crimson. "Hey are you comping the HBC?" Will be as common a question as, "What's your concentration?" and "What house do you live in?" on the Harvard Campus. The strengh and number of the Harvard Badminton Team will take the Northeast by storm. Badminton teams throughout will crumble. Women and children will huddle and bow their heads at the mention of the HBC. Grown men will cower; athletes in all walks of life will think themselves unworthy. College Football will fall as the players are too busy being Badminton groupies to attend practice. Oh yes...it all begins with Harvard Badminton Posters.
