LEADERSHIP
N
When head coach Dwayne
I
Hultquist took over at the helm
M
of Florida State men’s tennis
in 2000, the Seminoles were
E
7th out of 9 teams in the ACC,
S
and barely ranked in the top 60
nationally. Under his leader-
ship, Florida State has grown in
conference and national promi-
nence. As the winningest coach
in program history, Hultquist

has brought a confidence and
PRESTIGIOUS
success that hasn’t been seen
PROGRAM
before in Tallahassee.
The Seminoles have gone to the

NCAA Tournament for the last
seven seasons, including three
trips to the Round of 16 in the
past five years. In 2005, they
reached the “Elite Eight” after
impressive upsets over Ken-
tucky and Illinois en route to
the quarterfinals. Florida State
has also been ranked in the ITA
top 20 at the end of season
each year since 2005. On March
8, 2008, Florida State was
ranked No. 7 in the country,
which is the highest in program
history.

NATIONAL
ACCOLADES
s
Having such a successful pro-
e
gram over the past 10 years, it is
not a surprise that there would m
be some exceptional athletes
playing for the Seminoles. Mat i
n
Cloer, a two time ACC Player
of the Year and now an assis-
o
tant coach for FSU, was named
l
the first All-American singles
athlete in program history in e
2005. 2009 ACC Player of the

Year Jean-Yves Aubone has also T
been named an All-American in
E
singles in both 2008 and 2009.

RECRUITING
GREAT TALENT
A key part of putting together the

best collegiate team is going out
and recruiting the best high school
talent. Freshmen Connor Smith and
Anderson Reed were ranked No. 1
in Florida and Alabama, respectively.
Junior Clint Bowles won the 2007
National Clay Court Champion-
ship and USTA Florida Junior State
Closed Championship as a senior in
high school. Senior Jean-Yves Au-
bone was the No. 1 ranked player in
Florida and No. 3 in the nation com-
ing out of high school. These and
many others have helped establish
Florida State’s reputation as a pro-
gram that attracts elite talent.

N Each year, the Florida State men’s and women’s tennis programs serve up the Seminole Tennis Kick-Off
Banquet to ring in the new season and get fans and supporters ready for the season. Boosters, local supporters,
I
M former coaches and athletes and many other faces come together annually to celebrate Florida State’s success
and recognize the accomplishments of the student-athletes on and off the court in academics and community

E service. The banquet gives the Florida State tennis programs the opportunity to show their appreciation to all
the supporters for their continued efforts to keep Florida State among the elite tennis programs in the nation.
S
The event is held on the eve of the home opener and usually draws more than 500 people. Past special
guests have included NFL quarterback and former Seminole Brad Johnson and Tony Trabert, a five time Grand
Slam winner and the 2009 speaker Malavai Washington who won 14 singles titles. This year’s speaker is Dick
Gould who coached Stanford to 17 NCAA Championship Titles.
