ith ﬁ ve consecutive trips to the NCAA Tourna- ment, the goal for Florida State men’s tennis is Wto not just make it to the tourney, but to make a run to the ﬁ nal site in Tulsa, Okla. Bolstered by one of the nation’s top recruits in freshman Clint Bowles, the blend of youth and experience should make the Seminoles a force to be reckoned with in the ACC, and at the national level. Hultquist Outlook “I think we’ve got a very good team. I think our depth - you never know with injuries – is going to be very important, for our guys to be working hard to make that happen and being ready to play. I think we want to do well in the conference. We want to make the national indoors every year, and then make a run at the end.” Singles The Seminoles begin the season with two players ranked in the FILA/ITA preseason rankings. Sopho- more Jean-Yves Aubone begins the season ranked No. 70 while Blue Chip recruit Clint Bowles is the second highest ranked freshman at No. 105. Perhaps FSU’s biggest strength is its depth bringing back four players who all contributed big victories last season. Senior Sam Chang has already defeated four ranked players in fall tournaments, while juniors Chris Cloer and Maciek Sykut look to improve on solid seasons last year. Sophomore Brad Mixson is also set to continue winning matches, which was evident by his team best 15-4 record last season. Clint Bowles Hultquist Outlook

Schedule Not only does Florida State play in one of the toughest conferences in the nation, the ACC, the Seminoles also play some of the best teams in the nation each and ever year. The Seminoles schedule includes matches against Pepperdine, Florida and Notre Dame to go along with conference opponents Virginia, Duke and North Carolina. A trip to Hawaii in February will provide some excitement before Florida State gets to the meat of their schedule. Hultquist Outlook “We have an incredibly difﬁ cult schedule. The ACC may be the strongest conference in the country from top to bottom. We’ll have eleven of those matches, which will be very difﬁ cult. Then our out- of-conference schedule has some of the best teams in the country. We’re playing home and away and there won’t be any easy matches. We want to schedule the best teams and we’ve done that.”

Sam Chang Hultquist Outlook “I feel good about our singles. We had a good run with Sam and Clint making the All-American main draw, and a couple of other guys showing some good results as well. So, I think we look strong, but we want to be better. We worked hard this fall, and will continue into the spring.” Doubles Florida State has always taken pride in its doubles play and this year is no exception. The Seminoles begin the year with the 26th ranked doubles team in the FILA/ITA preseason rankings with senior Sam Chang and junior Maciek Sykut. The Noles also look to have another dynamic duo in sophomore Jean-Yves Aubone and freshman Clint Bowles. Hultquist Outlook “We’ve got a couple of new doubles teams, and doubles is all about chemistry and how you get along with your partner and knowing where each other’s going to be. So, we’ve got a little work to do on where our doubles is going to be.” Jean-Yves Auboune F l o r i d a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y 5 2007-08 OUTLOOK 2007-08 Roster NAME ...... HT ......

In his first year, Hultquist brought the Seminoles a winning record of 14-10. In his second year, the men’s team entered the 2001- 02 season ranked No. 59 by the ITA. Hultquist arrived at Florida State after serving eight years as an assistant coach at the University of Texas. While working under legendary coach Dave Snyder, Hultquist became known for his excellent recruiting abilities.

F l o r i d a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y 29 THE UNIVERSITY Speicher Tennis Center

ith the fi rst stage of construction completed in the summer Wof 1993, the Scott Speicher Tennis Center at the Donald Loucks Courts opened its gates to the public for the fi rst time at a Children’s Miracle Network charity tournament. Since then, many successful tournaments including the 1996 NCAA Women’s Championships and a 2007 Men’s NCAA Regional have graced the courts at one of Florida State University’s premier athletic facilities. Costing $1.2 million to build and then another $800,000 for recent additions, Florida State’s Speicher Tennis Center has become an example of the increasing dedication and commitment the University has to all of its 17 varsity athletic programs. The Speicher Tennis Center houses 12 lighted hard courts, over 1,000 court level seats, coaching offi ces, men’s and women’s locker rooms, equipment and storage rooms, a team lounge and a public address system. The growing pride Florida State has for its tennis program and its premier tennis center was honored just after it’s opening in 1994, when

the United States Tennis Association (USTA) awarded the structure with its “Top Notch” facility award. The Speicher Tennis Center was named in honor of Lieutenant Com- mander Michael Scott Speicher, a graduate of Florida State University. Speicher was considered the first American casualty during Operation Desert Storm, but was later reclas- sifi ed by the United State’s government as missing in action in 2001 and missing/captured a year later. By Presidential directive, the facility bears the name the “Scott Speicher Tennis Center.” In 1947, Loucks became Florida State’s fi rst basketball coach and a year later was named the school’s fi rst tennis coach. His tennis team was the fi rst athletic team. The varsity tennis courts were named for Loucks in 1981. He served as Dean of men from 1957-1967 and was known as

a servant of leadership, service and devotion to many worthy causes. The Speicher Tennis Center was designed by EMO/Architects, Inc., a Tallahassee- based architectural ﬁ rm, in collabora- tion with Global Consult Group, Inc., an internationally recognized Tennis Facility Design Consultant. The complex was funded by private sources and supervised through the state university system of Florida. Through its nine year existence, the Scott Speicher Tennis Center at the Donald Loucks Courts has served as the home courts for all Florida State men’s and women’s home dual matches, the annual Semi- nole Fall Classics, City of Tallahassee tennis championships, various USTA regional and zonal tournaments, the 1994 and 1995 Men’s Intercollegiate tournament and the annual Children’s Miracle Network Charity Invitational beneﬁ ting Shands Hospital in Gaines- ville.

• 6 Indoor Courts • Next to the Seminole Golf Course and new FSU Marine Aquatic Center • 5 Million Dollar Facility

ontinuing Florida State’s commitment toward building an elite Ctennis program is the Proposed Indoor Practice Facility. While providing the Seminoles a place to practice and compete during inclem- ent weather, the structure will also allow Florida State valuable practice time indoors while preparing for the National Indoor Championships during the spring season.

“We’re excited about it. Not only will it help us avoid missed matches and practices because of rain, but it will also help us in getting prepared to play indoor tennis. Because of the climate in the state, most people in Florida haven’t had the opportunity to play very much indoor tennis and our team is made up mostly of kids from the state of Florida. With this facility, we will have the opportunity to take our program to another level with the experience of playing and practicing indoors.” -Dwayne Hultquist-

Rehabilitation is another component of the Florida State training room. The FSU athletic training staff will work with the athlete and provide an intense rehabilitation schedule that will allow the athlete to successfully rehabilitate after an injury. Some injuries and illnesses may be referred to the Seminole team physicians at the Tallahassee Orthopedic Center who, for many years, have worked in conjunction with the FSU athletic training staff in successfully rehabilitating athletes after an injury. Nutrition counseling and drug testing are also responsibilities of the athletic training team which is dedicated to providing the best care possible for all FSU student-athletes. TRAINING ROOM Florida State Athletic Training has experienced a very exciting time as construction on the brand new Don Fauls Athletic Training Room was completed in the spring of 2005.

he FSU strength and conditioning program is designed to improve athletic performance through an indi- Tvidualized regimen of stretching, lifting, speed, power, agility and conditioning drills. The goal of the program is to maximize the on-ﬁ eld performance of each athlete, while reducing the risk of injury. Before a strength program is designed for an athlete, they are put through a series of physical tests to evaluate their speed, power, strength, agility, and body composition. Once the testing is completed, a program is designed for each student-athlete that will speciﬁ cally address his weaknesses and enhance his strengths. The computerized workout programs show in detail the exercise, the number of sets, repetitions and amount of weight prescribed for each workout. Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Jon Jost and his staff of experts closely monitor progress to assure each student-athlete is on schedule to reach their goals. Physical development is critical in order to excel at the collegiate level. FSU’s athletics department is committed to excellence in every area. This includes providing its athletes with the most state-of-the-art facility and equipment. Florida State’s Champions Training Complex provides the best platform to train its athletes to their full athletic potential.
