Xin Tong Wang, Alejandro Jacome and Kristof Minarik made Wichita State tennis history at a collegiate national championship tournament last month.

They became the first Wichita State men’s and women’s tennis players to advance out of the pre-qualifying stages of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-American Championships in over a decade.

Wang, a sophomore, competed for the Shockers in the women’s singles tournament in Cary, North Carolina, becoming the first woman to advance out of pre-qualifiers since 2009.
