Chase Bartlett, Andrea Stapper and Davis Meyer all had their signing ceremonies Monday night, which are held in the ATA fitness center. They were surrounded by their friends and families, as well as the ATA community to help them begin their transition to college.
Andrea Stapper signed her National Letter of Intent with the University of Arkansas Fort Smith. She will play tennis for the Lions starting in the Fall. She will compete in the Heartland Conference, which is the same as St. Edwards University’s conference. Coach Brandon spoke on Andrea’s quite nature but at times really funny and can always make people laugh. Andrea thanked her family, coaches, friends and the ATA community for supporting her through her journey at ATA even though she had started ATA a lot later after taking her sister’s spot while she started basic training. She was happy she gave it a try and has really enjoyed her time at ATA.
Davis Meyer signed his National Letter of Intent with Colorado Mesa University. He will play tennis for the Mavericks in the Fall. Coach Segovia spoke on Davis’s journey at ATA and his tennis. Davis thanked his family, coaches, friends and ATA community for sharing good times throughout his experience at ATA. He thanked Coach Segovia for sticking with him during his ups and downs of his career and deciding if he wanted to continue tennis.
Chase Bartlett signed his National Letter of Intent with St. Edwards University here in Austin. He will play tennis for the Hilltoppers in the Fall. Coach Rowe spoke on Chase’s enthusiasm in his lessons and his hard work. Coach Newman spoke on how Chase is a Force Multiplier. He brings everyone up if he is on the court, in the classroom or mentoring others. He has had a 4.0 throughout his time at College Prep and has been one of CP’s greatest students and mentors. Chase thanked everyone for coming and supporting him. When he moved to Austin from Dallas he felt ATA was a family. This is something he did not feel at any other academy. He thanked his coaches, family and friends for being there for him and making his experience great.
Congrats to all three Andrea, Chase and Davis on their accomplishments and their bright futures at their respective institutions!
