This building is about a mile south of my work building and close to our former neighborhood in Northwest Hills.

Kate and Claire’s junior team tennis team, known as the Austin Tennis Academy Dream Team, won the 18 and under Advanced 2009 USTA Junior Team Tennis National Championships on Sunday, November 1, 2009 in Mobile, Alabama. Their team defeated the Eastern, Missouri Valley, Intermountain, Florida and Midwest teams along the way.

In the semis, the ATA Dream Team defeated Florida 43-29. In the Finals, the team defeated the Port Huron (Michigan) Rebels 51-34. Their coaches, Jack Newman and Kendall Brooks accompanied the team. Coach Newman observed that the ATA doubles skills were far superior, the level of competition was excellent and the opponents were high quality.

Claire played girls singles, with tough competition, including one opponent ranked in top 50 in the country. She also played mixed doubles with Taylor Shamshiri in one match. Kate played girls doubles with Morgan Barnhill. Kate and Morgan won convincingly in each match and helped reduce pressure on the other lines, according to Coach Newman.

Here's the full recap from the USTA web site.

Way to go girls! Go Kate and Claire, Go ATA, Go Texas!
