Check out our watch list for 2022-23 USA TODAY HSSA Girls Tennis Player of the Year
The USA TODAY High School Sports Awards is pleased to announce its watch list for the 2022-23 USA TODAY HSSA Girls Tennis Player of the Year!
This initial list includes 50 current student-athletes who meet the nomination criteria for this year’s national Girls Tennis Player of the Year Award. These athletes were either nominees in last year’s national awards show, or athletes who were seriously considered based on season-wide performance, state championships and any other state, regional and/or national recognition.
The official 2022-23 USA TODAY HSSA Girls Tennis Team will be announced later this spring. All 25 final team members will be honored as nominees for national Girls Tennis Player of the Year. The winner will be revealed during the third annual USA TODAY High School Sports Awards. Visit the event website for updates leading up to this summer's on-demand event.
The purpose of this watch list is to track eligible nominees for this year’s national show. Athletes could be removed from this list if they no longer play for their high school team (either by choice or injury), or if their high school no longer participates in a state-sanctioned championship tournament.
