With help from Tip Bradford, senior in industrial and systems engineering and
native of Alpharetta, Ga., Auburn University’s club tennis team finished in the
top 40 at the United States Tennis Association’s (USTA) Tennis on Campus
nationals this spring. After three days of competition, the Tigers finished
39th out of 64 teams. The team earned its first ever bid to compete in
the national competition in Surprise, Ariz., after winning the USTA Tennis
on Campus Southern Section tournament with victories over top-seeded
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Clemson, South Carolina and NC
State. Bradford, a four-year member of the team, is one of seven traveling
team members and is the team’s only engineering student.
