The tennis program will kick off the reunion by hosting a reception at the Hall of Fame Friday. Following Saturday’s on-field recognition, there will be a National Iowa Varsity Club Banquet at the Coralville Marriot, which will be open to the public. Hawkeye women from the 1973-76 era will be recognized as past letter winners and be presented a monogrammed “I” and letter winner certificate

The event will conclude on Sunday with a tennis social at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center at 9 a.m.

The All-Hawkeye Tennis Reunion will feature players of all ages, including Harold McCollum, who played in 1937. Players from Europe and South America will be making the trip back to Iowa City for the event as well.
