Late December Sunset alongside Interstate 10 in West Texas
Tonight we say good-bye to 2010 and hello to a New Year, 2011. An opportunity to look back at the accomplishments of 2010 and forward to the hopes of 2011.
2010
Kohawk Tennis sent four seniors out into the "real" world. Matei Dima, Megan Fiala, Greg Janssen, and Andrea Schupbach. Great people. We expect great things from each.
On court, both Teams enjoyed winning records again, finished 2nd in Conference, produced Individual Conference Champions (Greg Janssen singles, Tai Lucero singles, Tai & Michelle Schupbach doubles), Two IIAC MVP's (Greg & Tai) and were rewarded with Intercollegiate Tennis Association Rankings in the singles, doubles and Team categories.
Longtime Assistant Coach Mark Murphy began a new phase of his career when he became the Head Women's Tennis Coach at Kalamazoo College in January.
The Kohawks welcomed in two new Assistants, Kris Diehl (former Northern Illinois standout) in January, and Rob Rye (Whitman College player, Chapman University Asst Coach) in August.
Coach Kris earned 3 Silver Balls, One Bronze, and one 4th place finish in her first two USTA National Tournaments.
Coach Rodgers wrapped up 15 years of serving on the ITA Ranking Committee by serving as the NCAA National Chair for DIII Men's Tennis.
2011
One never knows what the next 12 months will bring but there are a few things I can guarantee for Kohawk Tennis.
....We will compete for Conference Individual & Team titles as well as ITA/NCAA Rankings
....Each & Every Individual will improve their tennis games while having a good time doing so.
....Our Spring Break Trip to Florida will be loads of fun for the players and exhausting for the coaches!
....On May 8th Kohawk Tennis will graduate some more irreplaceable and outstanding individuals (Natalie Bordignon, Prateek Haralalka, Hannah Jensen, Elliot Rausa, & Scott Stegemann)
....On August 29th Kohawk Tennis will welcome in the Class of 2015. A select group that will continue and expand on the accomplishments of those that have come before them.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
