Every athlete has a journey to their collegiate career, if they are even lucky enough to make it that far. Not to mention the miles of travel they have had to put in to get to where they are today.

Redshirt first-year women’s tennis player Tiana Windbuchler is the exact description of those miles and time sacrifices. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Windbuchler had an incredible journey to get to where she is today.

Her love of the sport started at a young age, as she grew up watching sports with her dad.

“We would watch basketball, rugby, tennis, or any other kind of sport,” Windbuchler said.
