Senior Bryan Heft | SPRINGFIELD, Ohio - Wittenberg University senior tennis player Bryan Heft has been selected to compete in the 2001 NCAA Division III Men's Tennis Singles Championships May 21-23 at DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind.
Heft, of Gahanna, Ohio, was one of eight players selected from the Midwest Region, and he is one of 32 players in the singles competition.

For his career, he has a singles record of 61-26 at No. 1 singles.
It will be Heft's first appearance in the NCAA Division III Men's Tennis Singles Championships, and the first appearance by a Wittenberg player in more than a decade. He is one of two players from the NCAC to be selected, the other being Jeronie Barnes of Denison, the Big Red's No. 1 player and the NCAC Player of the Year.

The selection of teams and individuals for the championships is based on won-lost record, strength of schedule and eligibility and availability of student-athletes. The tournament draw will not be made until Sunday, following the completion of the NCAA Division III Men's Tennis Team Championship, also at DePauw.
