Oklahoma Tennis Pros Inducted Into Cowley College Hall of Fame
It’s a special start to the new year for a pair of Oklahoma tennis pros and their former college teammates. Eric Wedemeyer and Tim Shanahan were inducted into the Cowley College Athletic Hall of Fame this past Saturday, along with five others who were part of the Cowley Tigers’ 1989 NJCAA national championship team.
The entire team, along with their Head Coach Larry Grose, were inducted into the hall of fame during a ceremony at Cowley College in Arkansas City, Kansas.
Tim Shanahan, who teamed with Coach Grose’s son Jason to win the national title in 2 Doubles, is currently Director of Tennis at The Greens Country Club in Oklahoma City. Shanahan followed up his All-American seasons at Cowley by moving on to become an All-Conference player at Oklahoma City University. Tim was first inducted into the Tiger Hall of Fame in 2010 for his individual contributions.
Eric Wedemeyer’s play for the 1989 Cowley team earned him Junior College All-American honors as well, eventually leading him to Oral Roberts University to finish out his collegiate career. Wedemeyer currently works as Director of Tennis at Oak Tree Country Club in Edmond.
