Topeka Tennis Association inducts several Hall of Famers

In partnership with Shawnee County Parks + Recreation, the Topeka Tennis Association (TTA) hosted its annual Hall of Fame event on April 12-13 in Topeka. The event honored influential figures in the local tennis community who have made a positive impact on tennis in Topeka and its surrounding areas.

As is customary, Hall of Fame weekend kicked off with a fun and friendly tennis mixer at Genesis Topeka on April 12. Friends and family of the inductees were joined by members of the tennis community and TTA to hit tennis balls, socialize and enjoy light refreshments.

On April 13, TTA hosted the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Bettis Sports Complex. Light food and drinks were served for the inductees and their loved ones in attendance.
