Decatur High School junior Mack Hatten, bowling, is the Federal Way Mirror Female Athlete of the Week for Jan. 20.

Q: What is your favorite subject/class in school?

A: AP U.S. History. I know it is a challenging course with the workload, but I enjoy the fun and teamwork I have with my classmates when we work together. It makes my day every time I have that class!

Q: What hobbies do you enjoy outside of your sport?

A: I enjoy doing community service and watching TV or hanging out with friends.

Q: Who is the person in your life that has helped you succeed the most?

A: My mom because she is my number one cheerleader, and supporter, and she is my biggest fan. She has pushed me to do my best in everything, so I am so grateful for her and I love you, Mom.

Q: If you could have dinner with anyone (living or from the past), who would it be?

A: It would be my Grandpa Hatten because I never got to meet him and I would love to get to know him.

Q: Describe your pre-game ritual:

A: On my way to Secoma Lanes, I always listen to country music. When I get there, I always talk with the other girls and hype them up. But my favorite part is when our team does our big “Gators on the War Path” chant and I get into a confident mindset.

Q: Song you currently can’t stop listening to?

A: “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus.
