Wichita State tennis coaches Darragh Glavin and Colin Foster join the podcast to discuss continued progress by both programs in 2024-25. Foster, who coaches the Shocker women, talks about how the Shockers added depth to its lineup and how an uncomfortable team meeting before a match turned into a positive. Glavin, in his third season as men’s coach, talks about setting a culture and learning on the job. We break down why the AAC is one of the nation’s top tennis conferences and why Shocker tennis enjoys a strong connection with the Wichita tennis community. The women’s team went 13-10 with wins over three ranked opponents, in addition to Kansas State and Kentucky. WSU ended the season No. 63 in the ITA computer rankings after peaking at No. 47 for its highest ranking since 2019. The men’s team finished the spring 12-13, its most wins since 2022 and best win percentage since 2021. Their ITA computer ranking of No. 75 in March was the program’s first appearance since 2023.
