Durham Named Head Tennis Coach
PUEBLO, Colo. - The Colorado State University-Pueblo athletic
department has hired Thomas Durham as the ThunderWolves' head
tennis coach.
"We are excited to welcome Coach Durham back to Pueblo," said
Director of Athletics Joe Folda. "Tom's knowledge, passion, and
ability will help CSU-Pueblo sustain a program that is regionally
and nationally competitive."
Durham will be in command of the men's and women's programs, both
of which are returning several key student-athletes from last
season.
"I am very exited about the opportunity to come back to
CSU-Pueblo," Durham said. "I couldn't ask for a better situation
than to step into such an established and successful program."
Durham received his bachelor's degree in fine arts from the
University of Southern Colorado in 1995 and was also a standout
tennis player, qualifying for nationals during his senior campaign.
In 1990 he served as University's interim head tennis coach.
Durham has held numerous instructor positions throughout southern
part of Colorado, and had a brief two year stint as a tennis
instructor in Heidelberg, Germany, in 1975.
He and his family are returning to Pueblo from Tucson, Ariz., where
Durham was the Head Pro at Center Court Racquet Club and a private
coach for several nationally ranked players.
