Tennis tournament benefits IUPUC

April 29, 2010

The first annual Mayor’s Cup Tennis Tournament raised about $1,000 for IUPUC and Ivy Tech Community College Columbus.

The event was held April 24 at the Tipton Lakes Athletic Club. Eight “average” players were matched with a “pro.” Each doubles pair played three matches.

Teams included IUPUC Vice Chancellor and Dean Marwan Wafa and Ranjit Salvi; IUPUC Communications Specialist Paige Harden and Fred Sagester; Mayor Fred Armstrong and Tom Cote; Becky Church and Dave Burnett; Tracy Souza and Larry Williams; Marc Rothbart and Dan Prestel; Columbus Fire Chief Gary Henderson and Mike Sickels; and Brenda Sullivan and Pete Khensouri.

Dr. Wafa was forced out of the tournament with an injury, but his pro and substitute won the tournament.

The tournament results are as follows:
• First place: Cheryl Cazenave (substitute for Dr. Wafa) and Ranjit Salvi
• Second place: Gary Henderson and Mike Sickels
• Third place: Becky Church and Dave Burnett
• Fourth place: Marc Rothbart and Dan Prestel
• Fifth place: Fred Armstrong and Tom Cote
• Sixth place: Paige Harden and Fred Sagester
• Seventh place: Tracy Souza and Larry Williams
• Eighth place: Brenda Sullivan and Pete Khensouri
