BOULDER – The Alumni C-Club is holding the second ever CU Tennis Reunion Weekend, for both the men’s and women’s program on September 15-17 for alumni men and women who span competition years from 1956 – 2009 – over 50 years of CU Tennis.
The event was spearheaded by the Alumni C Club, Colorado’s athletic alumni association, and an alumni Committee lead by Tim Kullick, Sheila Ohlsson Walker and Former Assistant Coach Gary Horvath. “The Alumni Reunion committee worked tirelessly over the last six months to reach out to alumni all over the work to encourage them to come HOME to Boulder for their reunion,” said Alumni C Club Executive Director, Kimbirly Orr. “The collaboration with Head Coach Anthony Pham and others within the Athletic Department brought us to a fruitful event celebrating CU Tennis.”
