WOMEN’S COLLEGIATE TENNIS HALL OF FAME The ITA Women’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame began in 1995, to celebrate the milestones in women’s collegiate tennis, from the early struggles for recognition to the achievement of full-fledged intercollegiate competition. Established by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the Hall of Fame is operated by The College of William and Mary and is housed in the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center on the College’s campus.

KATRINA ADAMSFROM COURT TO COMMENTATOR

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Katrina Adams joined a tennis program on Chicago’s West Side when she was six years old. She attended Whitney Young High School, and became Illinois High School Association singles champion in 1983 and 1984. Adams attended Northwestern University on an athletic scholarship and was named an NCAA All-American while helping the Wildcats to Big Ten championships in both 1986 and 1987. In 1987, Adams became the first African American to win the NCAA Doubles Championship with partner Diane Donnelly.

From 1988 to 1999, Adams played on the Women’s Tennis Association tour where her best grand slam singles result was making it to the fourth round in the 1988 Wimbledon Championships, losing to Chris Evert. She was ranked #67 in singles in 1989 and was the singles runner-up at Wellington, New Zealand in 1988 and Brentwood, Tennessee in 1991. In 1989, she was presented the WTA Player Service Award. In 1989 Adams ranked #8 in the world in doubles, and during her 12-year professional career captured 20 doubles titles and was runner-up 16 times. Off the courts, Adams has served as a coach, member and officer of the WTA and Executive Director of the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program in New York. She was inducted into the USTA Midwest Section Hall of Fame in 2005 and is currently (2014) the USTA 1st Vice President. Adams is a contributing writer for Tennis Magazine and serves as a television analyst and commentator.

LINDSAY MORSE BENNETT

STELLAR STUDENT-ATHLETE

The eldest of three tennis-playing sisters, Lindsay Morse (Bennett) was born and raised in Pasadena, California. She began playing tennis at age 8 and from 11 played the junior circuit throughout California and the U.S. She was ranked #8 nationally in singles for girls 18 and under. In 1974, as a member of the Junior Wightman Cup team, she was named Player of the Year at Forest Hills. She attended the University of California, Irvine where, coached by Doreen Irish, she won the 1977 AIAW National Collegiate Singles title and earned All-American honors. That same year, Bennett represented the U.S. in Sofia, Bulgaria at the World University Games. Her 96 singles and 64 doubles wins while in college led her to become the first woman in UC-Irvine’s history to be named the school’s Student-Athlete of the Year.

In 1980 and 1981, Bennett played the WTA professional tour, attaining a world ranking of #39 in singles. During the 1980 season, she played in grand slams — losing in round 3 to Chris Evert at Wimbledon, to Martina Navratilova in the US Open and to Greer Stevens in the Australian Open; she also lost to Evonne Goolagong in round 3 of the Canadian Open. In 1983, Bennett was inducted into the UC Irvine Hall of Fame. In 1992 Bennett moved with her family to Lake Oswego, Oregon, where she helped coach her daughters’ tennis teams to two state championships. She began working at Mountain Park Racquet Club, and in 2000 was ranked #1 in Women’s 45 and Under Singles and Doubles in the Pacific Northwest. 5

CECILIA MARTINEZPOWER AND GRACE

Cecilia “Ceci” Martinez began playing tennis at age 9 and was one of the top players in Northern California throughout her junior years. She graduated from San Francisco’s Presentation High School and San Francisco State University where she was the USTA Intercollegiate Women’s Singles Champion in 1966.

In November 1970, Martinez was instrumental in helping to launch the first all-women’s professional tennis event — the “Virginia Slims Invitational Tour” at Westwood Club in Richmond, Virginia. Earlier at Forest Hills, women players considered boycotting Jack Kramer’s Pacific Southwest tournament due to the 12:1 differential in prize money between male and female players. Martinez produced a one-page questionnaire designed to uncover the true popularity of women’s tennis, and with her doubles partner, Esme Emanuel, collected surveys whose results sent a powerful message to the tennis establishment — fans liked watching women’s tennis, agreed there should be equity in prize monies, and would pay to attend a women-only tournament.

During her competitive career spanning 20+ years, Martinez was ranked #1 in singles and doubles in Northern California, and nationally ranked #9 in juniors, #11 in women’s singles, #4 in women’s doubles, and in 1993, #11 in 35 doubles. She won tournaments in ten countries, and played in singles, doubles and mixed doubles at Wimbledon and Forest Hills between 1965 and 1976. Since retiring, Martinez has been a teaching pro and tennis director in the San Francisco Bay Area, a freelance travel writer and photographer, and a real estate broker.

BOB MEYERSMAKING TENNIS HISTORY

Bob Meyers was first introduced to tennis at age five by chasing balls for his father, a tournament player in Illinois, and trying to hit them back using his mother’s racquet. Although he played several sports through school, it wasn’t until he was at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville that he played intramural tennis for his fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon. Meyers earned a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1971 and a master’s in counselor education in 1972. He served as the Assistant Athletic Director and Intramural Department Head at SIUE during the early 1970s.

Meyers inaugurated the SIUE women’s tennis program in 1981 and was named ITA Division II National Coach of the Year in 1983. The Cougars won four consecutive NCAA Division II Championships from 1986 to 1989, and in 1986 Meyers also became head coach of the men’s team. He earned the men’s ITA National Coach of the Year honor in 1988 making him the only coach in NCAA Division II tennis history to win Coach of the Year honors in both men’s and women’s tennis. Under his leadership, SIUE’s tennis program developed into one of the best in the nation. Following the 1989 NCAA Division II Women’s Team Championship title, he resigned from the university to pursue other interests. Almost 20 years later, Meyers became assistant coach for the Edwardsville High School boys’ and girls’ tennis teams and was honored with Assistant Coach of the Year in 2013.

JEFF MOORECOACH, TEACHER, LEADER

Jeff Moore was an athlete — playing football, baseball and basketball — but not a tennis player until his senior year at Holland High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He attended Knox College, then transferred to the University of Redlands to play tennis under legendary coach Jim Verdieck. After graduating in 1974, Moore became the first head coach for UR Women’s Basketball and began coaching Women’s Tennis in 1975. Within a year, the tennis team rose from the basement to second place in the division. In 1976, he moved to the University of Colorado where he coached men’s and women’s tennis. In 1982, after his women’s team finished 2nd and the men’s team 3rd in the Big Eight Conference, Moore became Head Coach for Women’s Tennis at the University of Texas in Austin.

During his 23 years at UT, the Longhorn Women’s Tennis Teams won two NCAA Division I Championships, had ten top-five finishes nationally, won 18 conference championships and boasted a 100% graduation rate. Named ITA National Coach of the Year in 1993 and Conference Coach of the Year eleven times, Moore credits his father, Bert Moore, and his UR coach, Jim Verdieck, with influencing his coaching and leadership styles. He has also coached middle and high school boys basketball and worked seven years as a teacher and administrator in independent schools. In his new career as CEO of Moore Leadership, he helps businesses and schools recruit and develop top performers. “I was extremely fortunate to have coached athletes who were driven by a purpose that transcended winning. I get chills thinking about how they pushed themselves and each other day after day!”.

THE HAROLD T. SOUTHERN FAMILYTHE LEGACY CONTRIBUTORS

Harold Southern (10/19/1916 – 9/18/2011) played No.1 for the Paladins at Furman University and continued playing competitively until he was 90 years old when he was ranked #4 nationally. Equally impressive, his professional achievements enabled him to promote, support and contribute in so many ways, especially in North Carolina. In the 1950s and ’60s, Harold helped bring the Southern Championships to Winston-Salem and was instrumental in establishing Winston-Salem Tennis, Inc.

Mildred didn’t play her first tournament until age 40, but she was consistently a high-ranked senior in singles and doubles. She served as president of the North Carolina Tennis Association, the North Carolina Tennis Foundation and the USTA Southern Tennis Association and organized the first Southern Senior Cup tournament. Mildred and Harold founded the Young Folks Tennis program that

Harold T. and Mildred F. Southern are considered the First Family of Winston-Salem Tennis. In 2012 their gift, a legacy endowment to the ITA Women’s Collegiate Hall of Fame, enriched the program and secured its future.

In recognition of their generous sponsorship, the NCTA’s main offices and Hall of Fame are dedicated in their honor and center court at the Wake Forest Tennis Center was designated the Harold and Mildred Southern Stadium Court.

Daughter Deborah “Debbie” Leigh Southern was a fierce competitor during her premier junior days in North Carolina and at the University of Tennessee. Now in her 29th season as head coach of women’s tennis at Furman University, Debbie holds the title of “winningest women’s tennis coach in Paladin history” and in 2004 was inducted into the South Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame.

MARK HUME McCORMACKNovember 16, 1930 – May 16, 2003

The College lost a legendary son and friend when Mark. H. McCormack died on May 16, 2003, at the age of 72. At the time of his death, Mark had built IMG into a company with 2000 employees and 85 offices in 35 countries. In addition to his many accomplishments, he also handled projects for the Mayo Clinic, the Smithsonian and global leaders such as Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail Gorbachev.

Mark was a devoted son, husband, father, friend and an alumnus of The College of William and Mary, and he inspired those around him to return that devotion in kind.

As a student and educator, Mark loved to learn and to share his knowledge with others. At William and Mary, his mentor was French professor Marcel Reboussin, who ignited Mark’s lifelong passion for learning and appreciation of other cultures. Mark wrote 12 books, generously sharing his hard earned knowledge with the world.

Mark was a visionary and saw only possibilities — not limitations — in life. With a handshake and a leap of faith he created IMG, a business that would forever change the world of sports and marketing. He constantly pushed himself and those around him to strive, to achieve, to dream.

Named “the most powerful man in sports” by Sports Illustrated, Mark was an entrepreneur and impresario extraordinaire. He created TWI, a television production company that broadcasts sports around the globe. His vision extended beyond sports to the arts, the Olympics, the Nobel Peace Foundation and even the Vatican. His personal philosophy was “Be the best, learn the business and expand by applying what you already know.”

Mark gave his time, talent and treasures to William and Mary. His counsel as a member of the Board of Visitors, chair of the Campaign for the Fourth Century and trustee of the Endowment Association, was invaluable. His generosity in supporting students and building a state-of-the-art indoor tennis facility was extraordinary. Mark left his footprint all over the world of sport as well as and not the least of these is the William and Mary campus. His friendship, given freely, fondly, and with a golden grin, will never be replaced.

BETSY NAGELSEN MccORMACK

Early in her career, Betsy succeeded in becoming the world’s top-ranked female junior tennis player in 1973. For the next 20 years, she competed on Women’s Tennis Association and Virginia Slims circuits, winning 25 world doubles titles, including two Grand Slams. She competed in the main draw at Wimbledon for 23 consecutive years, winning the over-35 doubles championship in 1993. McCormack also won the U.S. Open Senior women’s doubles title for two consecutive years.

In 1997, McCormack retired from competitive tennis after the birth of her daughter, Maggie, who by the way is here tonight. She continued using her expertise in tennis, working as an analyst for ABC Sports, ESPN, and Australia’s Channel 9. McCormack is also coauthor of two books, ‚“In His Court” and “Fit Over Forty for Dummies”.

Her late husband, Mark H. McCormack, was founder and chairman of International Management Group (IMG) and widely recognized as the inventor of sports marketing. Following his passing in 2003, the company was sold to a longtime family friend, Ted Forstmann, founder of Forstmann Little and the financier of recognized brands, Gulfstream and Dr. Pepper.

THE INTERCOLLEGIATE TENNIS ASSOCIATIONThe Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), a non-profit organization, has been serving the collegiate tennis community for more than 50 years. The ITA was founded in 1956 by the late J.D. Morgan, tennis coach and then athletic director at UCLA. Morgan served as the first president of the organization (which was known as the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association until 1992). The ITA has been headed since 1979 by Executive Director David A Benjamin, who also served for 26 years as the Director of Tennis and men’s varsity tennis coach of Princeton University, retiring in 2000.

The ITA, which serves as the governing body of collegiate tennis at all levels – NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and Junior/Community College – has worked hard over the past decades fullfilling its charter goals:

“To foster and encourage the playing of intercollegiate tennis in accordance with the highest tradition of sportsmanship and consistent with the general objectives of higher education.”

“To develop among the intercollegiate coaches a deeper sense of responsibility in teaching, promoting, maintaining and conducting the game of tennis.”

“To educate and serve those individuals and groups who are involved in collegiate tennis: junior and college players, their coaches and parents, and the at-large tennis public.”

The ITA promotes both the athletic and academic achievements of the collegiate tennis community. Throughout the collegiate tennis season the ITA administers a number of national championships: the Saint Francis Health System ITA Men’s All-American Championships and Riviera/ITA Women’s All-American Championships, USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, USTA/ITA National Small College Championships, USTA/ITA National Collegiate Wheelchair Championships, ITA National Team Indoor Championships (Division I and III), and ITA National Summer Championships presented by the USTA.

The ITA administers close to 90 USTA/ITA Regional Championships (Division I and Small Colleges) each fall as well as the ITA Collegiate Summer Circuit, presented by the USTA, at more than 35 regional sites across the country each summer. The ITA also administers regional and national ITA College Tennis Rankings for men’s and women’s tennis programs in all divisions.

The ITA has an extensive and comprehensive awards program for players and coaches to honor excellence in academics, leadership and sportsmanship. This awards program includes the ITA All-America Teams, the Wilson/ITA Coach of the Year awards, the ITA College Players of the Year, USTA/ITA Collegiate Varsity and National Campus & Community Outreach Awards, ITA Collegiate All-Star Team, the ITA/Arthur Ashe Collegiate Awards for Leadership and Sportsmanship, and the ITA Achievement Award hosted by the International Tennis Hall of Fame and presented by Rolex Watch U.S.A.

Since 1985, the ITA hosts an annual ITA Coaches Convention which brings together varsity tennis coaches to participate in educational clinics presented by prominent members of the PTR, USPTA, USTA and NCAA, as well as experts in sports medicine, fitness, psychology and other tennis and sports related subjects.

The ITA, USTA, National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association and World TeamTennis have joined forces to provide non-varsity players of college age the opportunity to learn and enjoy the game of tennis on college campuses through the “Tennis on Campus” program, highlighted by the USTA Campus Championships held each spring. This event crowns a national champion for co-ed club and intramural tennis teams.

For more information about the ITA and its programs, please feel free to contact the ITA Office, based in Skillman, N.J., at (609) 497-6920 or via e-mail at ita@itatennis.com. The official ITA website is www.itatennis.com.
