Smile Because it Happened. As the saying goes, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” Longtime Wichita State women's tennis head coach Colin Foster has accepted the Director of Tennis position at Wichita Country Club. He will serve as the interim head coach at Wichita State until a successor is found.
Foster is Wichita State's all-time wins leader with a record of 251-150 and has guided the Shockers to nine NCAA tournament appearances and eight conference tournament titles in 16 seasons as head coach (2009-25).
🗣 "Shocker Athletics, and our women's tennis program, have been blessed with Colin's exceptional leadership for 16 years," - Kevin Saal, Wichita State Director of Athletics
