Cowgirl tennis adds another student-athlete

by Wyoming Sports.org

University of Wyoming head tennis coach Kristen Hall announced on Thursday the signing Ronnie Spencer to attend UW beginning in the fall of 2008.

“We are very excited about Ronnie joining the Cowgirl tennis family,” said Hall. “I see her personality as a great fit for our team’s philosophy and expect her to have a great college career over the next four years.”

Spencer, of Caproel, Ontario, Canada is a two-time Scotia McLeod Mid Canada Open Champion in the U18 and Women’s Open categories while attending College Notre Dame, Sudbury, for three years. During that same year, she won the Northern Junior Open U18 and Niagara Academy of Tennis U18 Championships. In 2007, she also attended the Niagara Academy of Tennis. She is currently ranked seventh in the Open Division, and her highest ranking has been 24th in the U16 and U18 in Ontario. Spencer selected Wyoming over several schools. She is the daughter of Terry and France Spencer.

“I believe the University of Wyoming will be a great fit for me,” said Spencer. “Coach Hall and I share the same goals and work ethic, so this should be a great experience.”

Spencer is the second student-athlete to sign with the Cowgirls this year. They signed Virginia Iwinski (Marietta, Ga.) during the early signing period.
