Follow the Leader

Hello Whitman Tennis enthusiasts!

It has been a gorgeous weekend of wonderful tennis on campus here at Whitman with the men's team hosting their Wilson/ITA Fall regional tournament. Ours is hosted by Linfield with Salem as the indoor backup site in case of rain and starts this Saturday running through Monday.

Our men's team did a wonderful job setting the tone for fall tennis here with some amazing stories that you can read about at http://whitmantennis.blogspot.com. Matt Solomon returned from a semester at Boise State to win his 3rd straight singles title beating Whittie freshman and doubles partner Jeff Tolman in the finals.

With the men being so dominant and following last season's singles and doubles wins from our team, the expectations could be high, but all I see at practice is pure excitement for tennis. We have a terrific group of individuals who are really coming together as a team so I know we will play hard and have a ton of fun next week.

As soon as the draws and seedings come out, I'll keep you updated.

Best wishes from sunny Walla Walla,

John
