Bobcats of the week of May 22, 2006
Will Boe-Wiegaard ’06 There was a bit more to Boe-Wiegaard’s week than merely earning Bobcat of the Week honors. On Monday he won the NCAA Division III Men’s Tennis Singles Championship, completing his conquest of five top players from around the country in three days.Remarkably, four of the five players Boe-Wiegaard defeated had beaten him in their previous meetings.
Boe-Wiegaard (Georgetown, Conn.) became Bates’ first NCAA champion in any sport other than track and field. He also gained All-America honors for the fourth and fifth times in his collegiate career, teaming up with senior Tristan Beach to advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championship. |
