HDS at Coe

Yesterday, we hosted 40 kids from the Hiawatha Day School for a sports/tennis extravaganza!

Coach Klaas, Sarah Lasecki '17 and Anya (a Junior player that I work with) were instrumental in making this event a success!

We had two classroom sessions:
-  SuperFoods
-  Champions having an I CAN approach (there is no T in Champion), and an attitude of gratitude!

Coach Klaas working on throwing form.

All-American

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Senior Noah Sprinkel (Minneapolis, Minn./South) has been named an ITA Singles All-American. It is the 10th time a Kohawk has been named an All-American in program history.
The honor concludes a sensational career for Sprinkel, as he was named the ITA Central Region Senior of the Year earlier this month. Sprinkel also earned his third-straight Iowa Conference MVP award this year, while earning all-conference honors in singles and doubles. 
Sprinkel became the fourth player in school history to play in three-straight NCAA National Singles Championships. Sprinkel dropped his first round match 4-6, 6-3, 3-6 to Alex Ruderman of Emory. He finished the year with a 31-12 record, including a 13-5 mark in singles play despite playing only in the spring.

In doubles, he started the season at the number one position partnered with junior Riley Galbraith (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Kennedy), posting a 7-3 record. Later in the spring, Sprinkel began playing with junior Ryan Hickman (Hutchinson, Kan./Hutchinson), splitting time between the number one and number two doubles positions. Sprinkel and Hickman combined to post an 11-4 mark. Sprinkel ranks fourth in school history in career doubles wins with 91, sixth in total wins with 170 and ninth in singles wins with 79.

Sprinkel was the sixth Coe player to be named Iowa Conference MVP, accounting for 12 total honors. He is the first to win three-straight Iowa Conference MVP honors since Coe's Nick Barnes, who won three straight honors between 2002 and 2004.
In all, six Kohawk men's tennis players have accounted for 10 All-American honors. Six of the 10 have come from singles players. Sprinkel is the first singles All-American for the Kohawks since Nick Barnes earned three-straight honors from 2002-04.
