HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — On the eve of the 55th annual Ken Kraft Midlands Championships, 38 teams from across the country are preparing for some of the most highly-anticipated matches so far this season.
For some athletes, Midlands is the first true test of the season. For others, it is just one of the many hurdles on the road to the NCAA Championship. However, for redshirt senior Jason Tsirtsis, Midlands serves as more of a homecoming.
The Crown Point, Indiana native returns to his home turf to compete at Midlands for the sixth time in his collegiate career.
