Hey Club Tennis Members,

Sectionals weekend will essentially be the culmination of our group, with us hopefully getting an automatic bid to the National Tournament. This is only our second year that we've been to sectionals and I am happy to say that this is the largest group we have ever had!

If anyone on this list can’t come please email me ASAP. We still could use a couple more girls, so if any girls are interested email me ASAP. Also there is a possibility that we will shorten the guys list by a couple people, since we have so many signed up (but hopefully everyone will get to come). We have one more practice this Sunday which will be devoted to people going to sectionals (you’ll get another email), and the upcoming scrimmage matches against the Women’s Varsity to prepare for sectionals.

I’ll send another email later next week about arrangements for driving. Most people will be leaving Friday night, but it is possible that one car will leave early Saturday morning. If you have any questions just reply to this email.

Below is the current roster for people going to sectionals on Feb 18/19:

Men:

Ilija Zelkjovik

Jeff Rudie

Brian Blosser

Jeff Marlow (driving)

Nathan Killian (driving)

Jeff Gole

Mike Parks

Mike Seiler

Chris Sheets (driving)

Franklin Wolf (driving)

Ryon Buchman (driving)

Jeff Miller

Women:

Subject: [wuclubtennis] IMPORTANT Sectionals Info in Iowa Feb 18/19

Hey everyone,

We had a great time on our trip to Kansas City! Thanks for everyone who came. We beat Nebraska and lost to UMR in the team tennis match, but everyone had a great time playing, staying up late to watch the Australian Open and eating KC BBQ (Matt and Brian, could you please post pictures on the yahoo group).

Again, incase you have not had a chance, please sign up for the Indoor Practices Database on the Yahoo Group if you would like to participate in our Sunday 7-9pm Indoor Practices (http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/wuclubtennis/database?method=reportRows&tbl=3). We have two more indoor practices before sectionals.

Also, we are planning on scrimmaging the Wash U Women’s varsity team (in doubles matches) on Feb 15 and Feb 22. Those are Wednesday nights and I’ll send out more info as it becomes available.

Anyway, I am sending this email out relatively early because we need to know very soon who can come to the Sectional Tournament on Feb 18/19 in Iowa. We are planning on sending two teams. So that means a maximum of 20 people, but it will be more likely be around 8 guys and 8 girls. This is a full weekend of tennis where we will be playing against around five other schools, many of which will be entering two teams. We will likely be leaving Friday night and coming back late Sunday, so it will be a full weekend with a lot of great tennis. BTW we did win the tournament last year, but competition will be stiffer this year.

I need anyone that is interested and committed to coming to Sectionals REPLY to this email. Please reply ASAP yes/no/maybe and if maybe then decide by this weekend. Guys who are still trying out can still reply and we will determine who will be going after the tryouts

Jeff Rudie,
