OXFORD. Miss. - Sophomore Arianne Hartono earned a bid to the NCAA Singles Championship and will team up with senior Mai El Kamash in the NCAA Doubles Championship.
Hartono will participate in the NCAA Singles and Doubles for the first time in her young career, while El Kamash will also be making her first appearance in the doubles.
The SEC represents one-third of the field of 64 in singles. Last week Hartono earned All-SEC second team honors. She owns a 20-13 overall record, 13-7 at No. 1 singles. Hartono is ranked No. 33 in the latest ITA Singles Rankings.
Hartono and El Kamash team up for a 14-11 overall record, 10-7 at No. 1 doubles. They have been ranked inside the top 30 all spring.
"I am so excited to Arianne and Mai to be selected for the NCAA individual championships," head coach Mark Beyers said. "Arianne has had a great year playing at the top of the lineup for us. In doubles, Arianne and Mai picked up some great quality wins throughout the season, and both have definitely earned this selection. It will be a great way for Mai to finish her collegiate career at the NCAA Championships!"
The NCAA individual championships begin May 25 at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and conclude on May 30 with the singles and doubles finals.
