Conference Singles Championship and earned more than 50 wins as a
singles player.
His athletic talents were not limited to the tennis court, as
Smith also excelled as a member of the football and basketball
squads. In basketball, Smith ranks sixth all-time in scoring with
1,443 points.
On the gridiron, Smith served as the punter for his senior
season.

of the Hall of Fame committee. He is also the Commissioner of men's
tennis for the Centennial Conference.
"We are going to be young but we have a very talented and
enthusiastic group," said Smith. "I am very hopeful that we can
build on the success we had last year and continue to move this
program forward.
"It is an exciting time for the Ursinus men's tennis program."
Smith lives in King of Prussia with his wife Kimberly, who is a 1986 graduate of Ursinus, and his five-year old daughter Olivia.
