Oakton's Tennis Team Receives Postseason Honors
Neal Sipkovsky, men's tennis coach at Oakton Community College, is the National Junior College Athletic Association Region IV Coach of the Year.
Oakton finished first in a seven-team bracket at the recent NJCAA Region IV Tournament at Harper College, earning awards for Sipkovsky, a 1997 graduate of Maine South High School, and freshman David Bukowski of Mount Prospect, who was named NJCAA Region IV Player of the Year for his victory in No. 1 singles play.
The Raiders notched three more top tournament wins as sophomore Bladimir Hernandez of Chicago took first place in No. 2 singles action, sophomore Billy Wangerow of Hoffman Estates won at No. 3 singles, and Bukowski teamed with Hernandez to finish first in No. 1 doubles play. Bukowski (13-2) also was named the Skyway Conference Most Valuable Player with his win at the Skyway Conference Tournament April 24 at Elgin Community College.
The Raider's first place finish at the NJCAA Region IV qualified Oakton for the 2004 NJCAA Division II Men's Tennis Championship, which starts May 9. This is the second straight year Oakton has qualified for the national tournament.
Oakton finished the regular season 6-2 in dual meets and 3-1 in Skyway Conference play.
