Kicking off our 2024-2025 Journey!

Now is a time we look forward to even more than holiday season when our Middlebury Panthers are returning to campus to begin the new school year. Excited for a great fall season as we kick off our new journey! Our squad had an incredibly productive summer including completing internships, traveling, and off course competing on the tennis courts both domestically and internationally as well!

This Fall, we have two juniors, Nathan Jackson and Julian Wu who are studying abroad in Copenhagen. We will miss them but glad they are together to train and play while they are there too.   

The Panther roster for the 2023-2024 season is comprised of a balanced 5 upperclassmen and 5 underclassmen. Coach Andrew Thomson enters his 8th season back at Middlebury as a coach and Tristan Kaye enters his 3rd season at Middlebury. The excitement we feel for the upcoming season is immense, and it will be a joy to see how we can explore our potential and look to make another deep postseason run. Of course, we got to get to work and starting building and exploring our potential to learn what we can become capable of!

Fun Fact
Our Panther men have continued to crush it in the classroom, with 100% of our roster earning ITA Academic All-American status last year (2nd year in a row)! That’s the way!
