22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 The Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center, which is home to both the women’s and men’s tennis teams, was dedicated in September 1992 in keeping with the University of North Carolina’s tradition of offering quality facilites for its stu- dent-athletes. The indoor/outdoor facility is adjacent to the UNC Finley Golf Course and behind the Friday Center on N.C. Highway 54 in Chapel Hill. The facility is named for Ceasar Cone, II, a 1928 alumnus of the University who played tennis at Carolina and was a great benefactor of the school. The center also bears the name of John Kenfield, the legendary Tar Heel men’s tennis coach who had a sterling record of 434-30-2 from 1928-55. Kenfield’s teams won 15 Southern Confer- ence and two Atlantic Coast Conference team championships during his tenure. He coached the likes of Bitsy Grant, Wilmer Hines and Vic Seixas at UNC, and his 1948 team finished third in the country. Kenfield was Carolina’s first- ever tennis coach, and he took over the leadership of the UNC team in time to coach Cone in his senior season in 1928. 30 The $2 million complex includes: • Six indoor and 12 outdoor, lighted hard surface tennis courts • Spectator viewing on the upper level of the indoor center • Men’s and women’s varsity dressing facilities • Public and visitor dressing facilities • Fully-equipped weight-training rooms for both varsity teams Other recent additions include an electronic scoreboard for the outdoor courts, additional stadium seating at the outdoor courts and a new electronic scoreboard for the indoor courts beginning in 2008. UNC has hosted NCAA Tournament play in each of the last six years, with the Tar Heel women advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 after home victories in each of the last three seasons. In the four years under head coach Brian Kalbas, UNC has posted an overall record of 50-7 at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. 31 UNC Administration Dick Baddour Dr. Beth Miller Director of Athletics Sr. Associate Director of Athletics Dick Baddour, a 1966 graduate of the University of Beth Miller is in her 21st year supervising North Car- North Carolina, was named Director of Athletics on June 25, olina’s highly-successful 26-team Olympic Sports program 1997.
