MEADVILLE, Pa - Greg Kreitzer was announced Thursday as the new Allegheny assistant tennis coach by Head Coach Jared Luteran. Kreitzer is beginning his first coaching stint after graduating from Hamilton College in May.
A two-time captain for the Hamilton tennis team, Kreitzer competed in the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference), one of the toughest conferences in the country. In 2010-11, Kreitzer was selected as part of both the NESCAC All-Academic and All-Sportsmanship teams, as well as being selected an ITA Scholar Athlete. In addition, Kreitzer was also a two-time recipient of the Hamilton Scholar Athlete Award, given to an athlete who has worked to excel in the classroom while contributing significantly to the Hamilton Athletics Program.
“We are very excited with the addition of Coach Kreitzer to the Gator Tennis family,” said Luteran. “His background, having played in the NESCAC for four years, one of the toughest tennis conferences in the country makes him well prepared for the competition in the NCAC.”
In addition to his success on the court, Kreitzer has also been a role model off it, leading his team in numerous off-court events such as Race for the Cure and Relay for Life. He has also served the last five summers as a Camp Counselor and Unit Head at Camp Seneca Lake, located in Penn Yan, N.Y.
Kreitzer earned a Bachelors of Arts degree from Hamilton College, with concentrations in Economics and Communications.
