The youthful group with only two upperclassmen lost two All-Americans in the offseason to graduation, but that has not put a damper on the coach’s expectations for the upcoming season. ”I believe we have a special group assembled this year,” Shelton said. “This team has a new and fresh identity. I believe with our youth comes a lot of ex- citement and energy. I suspect we will make steady progress throughout the year and will surprise some people late. We’ll make some mistakes along the way, but you will see huge improvements throughout the season.” After four seasons anchored by perennial All-American Junior Amanda McDowell, the 2008 NCAA Singles Lone senior Christy Striplin has been one of the Kristi Miller and her solid and steady doubles partner Champion, won a school-record 45 matches in most dependable Yellow Jackets over the past three Whitney McCray, the Yellow Jackets will need to try and 2007-08. seasons. replace over 210 career singles and doubles victories. Shelton said of McDowell. “Her goal is to play professionally and we have “We can not replace those two All-Americans,” Shelton said. “They both identified the areas she must improve. Amanda is fully committed and she made the program what it is today. We move forward with a new team with is a winner in every way.” different strengths and a new identity. It keeps coaching interesting and fun. I do believe we can be just as successful.” Shelton will also have dependable senior Christy Striplin, who has won at least 25 matches in each of her first three seasons at Tech. Striplin just may Shelton is optimistic for good reason. He returns 2008 NCAA Singles Cham- be the x-factor that catapults this season’s team towards another NCAA pion Amanda McDowell, a junior from Atlanta, Ga., who won a school record crown. 45 singles matches in 2008. McDowell was named the 2008 ITA National Player of the Year and earned the 2008 Honda Award for Tennis as the “Christy is going to step forward and play some amazing tennis,” Shelton nation’s top player. The most challenging road ahead for McDowell is sup- stated. “She moves like a deer and I expect her to exceed even her own planting Miller as the team’s leader and holding down the No. 1 position expectations.

The Yellow Jackets upperclassmen will be joined by two other returning “She has to adopt a leadership role for this team and become more vocal,” letterwinners in sophomores Sasha Krupina and Noelle Hickey. Krupina was a valuable doubles player as a freshman, combining with Kristi Miller at the top spot in the lineup. Hickey enjoyed a very successful rookie season, 2008-09 Georgia Tech Women’s Tennis Roster cracking the singles lineup and winning 25 singles matches. Name Ht. Cl.

Joining the mix in 2008 is Jupiter, Fla., native Irina Falconi, Hillary Davis of Austin, Texas and a pair of international standouts in Viet Ha Ngo and Lynn Blau. Shelton has once again recruited some of the most talented athletes to play tennis at the Bill Moore Tennis Center. He is just not ready to proclaim who will have the biggest impact on the upcoming season. “It’ way too early to talk about line-up with this team,” Shelton said. “I don’t want to label anyone at this point, but our freshmen are hard working and very talented. That is a great combination. Oh by the way, they are great students as well. We definitely struck gold with this class.” With such a young team, Shelton will not only coach the team on the court, he is interested in helping his team grow in the classroom and hopefully make an impact that will last after their last match in a Yellow Jacket uniform. “We continually are teaching our players things that will help them in the Sophomore Noelle classroom, on the court and in life,” Shelton added. “I’ve got the greatest job Hickey (right) enjoyed in the world and also a serious responsibility which I don’t take lightly.” a very successful rookie season on the Flats. Shelton will test his young team early and often in the coming season with non-conference matches against some of the top teams around the nation and an always tough Atlantic Coast Conference slate. “We always have the tough- est schedule in the country and this year is no exception,” Shelton said. “We’ll play at least 15 schools in the top 20 when all is said and done.” In the end, the Jackets will look to work as a team and stay committed to continuing the success of the program. “Our number one goal for this team is to enjoy the process and stay committed to excel- lence,” Shelton said. We are focused on the big picture and refuse to sacrifice our long term goals for today’s short term gain.” Freshman Viet Ha Ngo (Left) is one McDowell and freshman Irina Falconi (right) of four freshmen won the 2008 Riviera/ITA All-American on the 2008-09 Doubles title. roster. 11 HHeadead CoachCoach • 10th10th SeasonSeason • HHuntsville,untsville, AAla.la. • GGeorgiaeorgia TTech,ech, 11989989 In just his 10th season at the helm of the Yellow conclude the season, culminating with NCAA Jacket women’s tennis program, Bryan Shelton is already Championship in May. one of the most successful coaches in school history - he is one of just five coaches in the history of Georgia Tech Georgia Tech earned at least a share of Athletics to guide a team to a national title, and the only the ACC regular season title for the third- one to capture an NCAA Team Championship.

The recipi ent S 31 TECH The event did not establish a new tradition at Georgia Tech, but it cemented one. The vehicle,a restored 1930 Model AFord Sport Coupe, was Tech's first official Rambling Wreck car. Since that time, the Rambling Wreck (af has joined a much older tradition-the Yellow Jacket-as an official school mascot. The term Rambling Wreck was first applied to a 1914 Ford owned by Floyd Field, Dean of Men. In the first published reference to the (ar as the "Rambling Wreck"in 1927, the Technique student newspaper spoke out against Field when he considered trading the car, but he did it anyway. The Technique maintained the tradition with For many years, one of the most popular a yearly collegiate auto face from Atlanta to Athens, pranks by students was the stealing of the -YW known as the "Old Ford" race or"Flying Flivver" race, from the top ofTech Tower. which began in 1929 but was discontinued when it became too dangerous. In its place is the familiar Rambling Wreck Parade, which is still held every year at Homecoming. The event challenges students to produce outlandish"mechanical monstrosities" capable of traversing a short course on campus. Tech officials decided in the late 1950s the school needed an official car that would be known forever as the Rambling Wreck. Dean of Students James Dull began a search for a pre-1940 vintage model, and finally found one-parked in front of hisapartment building. The owner, Capt. Ted Uohnson, a Delta Air lines pilot, had just finished restoring the 1930 Ford Cabriolet Sport Coupe, which he intended to give to his son as a gift. Johnson decided to let Tech have the car for $1 ,000 in May, 1961. He later returned the purchase price in the form of a contribution to the Alexander-Tharpe Fund, fulfilling a desire to go on record as having given the Rambling Wreck to Georgia Tech. 32 TRADITIO The Georgia Te 33 FFourour YYellowellow JacketsJackets hhaveave eearnedarned AAll-Americall-America ddistinctionistinction ssinceince tthehe pprogramrogram ffirstirst bbeganegan iinn 11977,977, wwithith aallll ffourour sstudent-athletestudent-athletes havingaving pplayedlayed forfor ccurrenturrent hheadead ccoachoach BBryanryan SShelton.helton.
