Press release from the University of Alabama: April 19, 2022 The Crimson Tide Wheelchair Tennis team defeated San Diego State at the U.S. Tennis Association Collegiate National Championships April 16 in Orlando, Florida, winning its sixth consecutive national championship and seventh in program history. Senior Thomas Venos also won the individual championship in the singles A bracket, making him a two-time singles champion. "This is what we train for all year," said team Head Coach Evan Enquist.

This is the second national title UA Adapted Athletics has brought home to Tuscaloosa this spring. The Women's Wheelchair Basketball Team won its eighth national championship in March.
