Yelena Travica '23 Recruiting Profile

I am looking to play division 1, 2 or NAIA tennis in the USA for the Spring or Fall of 2025, but I am open to any opportunities that come my way. I am a transfer student who spent her freshmen and currently sophomore year playing division 2 at Colorado State Univeristy Pueblo. I have 2 years of eligibility left in the NCAA. These past 2 years have been a great experience, but it is time for me to continue growing as a player in a different environment and hopefully bring some good wins along with me. I didn't start playing tennis till I was 12 years old, but I never let that stop me from being a fierce competitor when it came to tournaments. Living in a small city like Winnipeg didn’t give me many chances to make my UTR an accurate reflection of how I play tennis. I am self motivated and driven to train as hard as I can because playing tennis is my passion. I played many sports in my past which has helped me grow in tennis in ways such as footwork and speed. The summer of 2022 I qualified to represent Team Manitoba at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in doubles which was a great learning experience. I've also attended 3 Canadian Junior Nationals representing Team Prairies.
