Whaling Named MIAC Men’s Tennis Athlete Of The Week Posted on May 1st, 2018 by

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference announced its Athlete of the Week award winner for men’s tennis on Tuesday and Gustavus’s Patrick Whaling (Jr., Manakin Sabot, Va.) was honored with the distinction.

Whaling earns his second weekly conference accolade and third career after helping guide the Gusties capture their 30th consecutive regular season MIAC championship by going undefeated in two singles matches and three doubles matches last week. Whaling competed at No. 2 singles against Macalester and Saint John’s and No. 1 doubles against the Scots, Johnnies and St. Thomas, completing the Conference season with a 4-0 mark in singles and 5-0 record in doubles.

As the No. 1 seed entering the MIAC playoffs, the Gusties will host the winner of the No. 4/5 play-in game between Macalester and Concordia at 3:30 p.m. Friday. The conference championship is 1 p.m. Sunday and Gustavus would host if it advances.
