TCU sophomore women's tennis player Nina Munch-Soegaard was named the Tennis Athlete of the Year on Sunday, as recognized by the Texas Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame. Munch-Soegaard was one of eight athletes with roots in the Panhandle area to be named a player of the year.
"I am very honored to be selected by the Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame," said Munch-Soegaard. "I grew up playing out of Amarillo and traveling a lot but the Panhandle was always the place I came home to, so it an honor to have been recognized by the Hall of Fame."
The honorees will be recognized at the Amarillo College campus on Feb. 10. Headlining the list of Hall of Fame inductees includes two-time Super Bowl champion Kenny King, Marsha Sharp, the winningest women's basketball coach in Texas Tech history, and Olympic gold medalist Brandon Slay.
Munch-Soegaard had a memorable freshman season last year, recording a team-leading 21-6 dual-match record to earn the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year award. Munch-Soegaard began the year playing at the No. 3 position, but ended the season playing at the No. 1 spot for the last six matches.
Munch-Soegaard also led the Frogs last fall, putting together a 10-3 mark, including five consecutive wins en route to The Racquet Club Invitational singles title. Munch-Soegaard posted a 31-9 record overall in 2007, and will enter the 2008 dual season ranked No. 66 nationally.
