Yet another year in the books...

Howdy Ags!

The 2009-2010 Texas A&M Tennis Club Season is officially over.  We had a great End-of-Year Tournament yesterday, and we sent one of our most dedicated seniors, Gracie Jeanson, out a winner in both singles and doubles!  The results from the tournament are attached for anyone interested.  This was a very successful year for the club as a whole with us having 3 teams finish in the top 5 at the Sectionals Tournament (2nd, 3rd, and 5th).  We also finished in 11th place at the National Tennis on Campus Championship.  The Texas A&M Tennis Club also set a record by bringing 13 teams to the 2009 College Station Regional last semester, which was also the largest Tennis on Campus Regional Tournament in Texas outside of the Sectional Tournament.  The club's members completed over 200 hours of community service coaching junior team tennis teams, coaching at local schools, and helping out the Bryan/College Station community at the Big Event.  

We look forward to building upon all of these great accomplishments to be an even GREATER club next year.  I have loved every moment of being your President this year.  I have learned A LOT through this entire experience, and I look forward to leading this club next year as the 2010-2011 President.  I am always open to comments, criticisms, and questions so please don't hesitate to voice your opinion to make our club better!  

Next year, we are going to have a GREAT officer class, and I think this club will be in good hands.  Here's the 2010-2011 officer line-up:

• Hersh Pise - Vice President
• Ana Sanchez - Treasurer
• Patrick Haines - Secretary
• Alex Tajonar - Competition Officer
• Scott Motl - Competition Officer
• Neil Grobler - Social/Baskeball Tourney Chair
• Brent Hametner - Social Officer
• Mandy Branscome - Social Officer
• Nadine Hulleman - Recruitment Officer
• Rudy Contreras - Recruitment Officer
• Ben Naovaret - Fundraising Officer
• Mary DeForke - Fundraising Officer
• Austin Holst - Fundraising Officer
• Rita Kartunov - Historian
• Erin Mitchell - Historian

Our website (tennisclub.tamu.edu) is updated with all of our tournaments and practices for the fall, so be sure to check that out to be up-to-date with everything!  We will be hosting two Tennis On Campus Regional Tournaments next year here in College Station, and we look forward to seeing each and every one of y'all at the first practice next year on September 8th!  Spread the word about Texas A&M Tennis Club to all your high school tennis buddies back home who are considering A&M, and remember to keep practicing hard!

Thanks and Gig 'Em!
