New Player, New Season

This past summer, BYU Women's Tennis said goodbye to an amazing player:

Megan Price
However, we have gained a fresh new face....

Mackenna Maddox
Mackenna comes to us from McKinney, Texas. She is excited about this new season and new team.


This past weekend, BYU Women's tennis went on their annual team retreat. It was HILARIOUS to say the least. What do you get when you put a bunch of intense and driven girls together? Our amazing coaches, Lauren Jones-Spencer and James Ludlow put on this fun, exciting and intense scavenger hunt.

-The hunt started out at BYU campus, with teams being made, and the first challenge was issued: a spelling bee with two teammates alternating spelling. It only took about 45ish minutes and the winning word zucchini.

-Next came south Provo and we had to find a certain building and behind it was a baseball field, we had to hit 3 balls to the outfield with the grip of the rackets before we could get our next clue. This was intense and thankfully we all got it pretty quick.

-Then back to campus to put together names of past players in order, including one of the girls still playing, Andie Young.

-This next part was none of our favorites, up Y mountain we went for our next clue. If you don't know what Y mountain is, here is some information: Y Mountain

-Back to campus to the soccer stadium to count all of these:
307 to be exact
-Then it was to this staple at BYU:
For those who don't know, we are the Cougars
-Back up to campus to take a picture with Brigham himself:

-Unique to Provo, a jumping picture in front of the Missionary Training Center

-Then to Bridal Veil Falls for our last challenge which was difficult. One person was chosen before to complete the task of untying twine tied in a ridiculous amount of knots with their hands behind their backs for our final clue and destination of the retreat.....

READY??
