Whitson McNeill has been named the USTA Kentucky Tennis Boys Scholastic Achievement Winner. Congratulations!
Whitson discovered his passion for tennis in elementary school, after attending tennis clinics and decided to make it his primary sport by the 6th grade. His love for the game and determination to improve have defined his journey as an athlete. His hard work led to an invitation to play in Junior Nationals, at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida, on Team Southern the last two summers.
His passion for both tennis and golf has led him to individual regional titles in both sports. Whitson’s ability to excel both academically and athletically demonstrates his unwavering work ethic and commitment to achieving excellence in every aspect of his life.
