🌾 ONE BIG THING

The Wichita State trio representing the Shockers at the ITA All-American Championships have ended their runs in the qualifying round of the tournament. On the men’s side, doubles team Alejandro Jacome and Kristof Minarik fell in straight sets to a duo from Florida State. The Shocker duo reached the qualifying round after back-to-back upset wins over the weekend, becoming the first to compete in the qualifying round since 2011.

Shocker women's tennis sophomore Xin Tong Wang fell in three sets, ending her run with a 4-1 record at the ITA All-American Championships. She is the first Shocker since 2009 to advance out of the pre-qualifying draw at All-Americans and is the first Shocker to win multiple matches at All-Americans in any bracket since 2017.
