Midwest #Winning at College Tennis

During the month of May, Midwest universities and tennis players made history at the 2023 NCAA Tennis Championships! The men's team for Case Western Reserve University won the school's very first national title. Midwest players Reese Brantmeier and Anika Yarlagadda, along with Coach Brian Kalbas (also from the Midwest) helped the University of North Carolina win its first-ever Division I women's title. The Ohio State University not only achieved runners-up for the NCAA DI men's championships, but two of its team members, Andrew Lutschaunig and James Trotter, beat the No. 3 duo Cleeve Harper and Eliot Spizzirri of Texas 6-4, 6-4 to win the NCAA men's doubles national championship. Finally, congratulations to Ondrej Styler, a senior at the University of Michigan, who was the finalist of the men's singles competition!
