Stanford University senior Geoff Abrams, formerly of Newport Harbor

High, has been named to the USA Tennis Collegiate Team, an elite training

program for the country’s top collegiate players.

Abrams, one of three Stanford players on the six-player team, closed out

2000 with a 45-7 singles record and earned the Pacific 10 Conference’s

co-Player of the Year honor (with teammate Alex Kim).

Abrams, 22, played on three NCAA title teams at Stanford, including this

year, and capped his collegiate career by making the Intercollegiate

Tennis Association’s All-American team in singles and doubles.

Owner of the fourth-best winning percentage in Stanford men’s tennis

history, Abrams will be joined on the USA elite team by fellow Cardinal

members Kim and K.J. Hippensteel.
