MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Wichita State men's tennis junior Luke Bracks has qualified for the 2024 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) National Summer Championships at Leftwich Tennis Center this week in Memphis.
 
The event consists of a 32-player singles draw and a 16-team doubles draw with all matches playing out August 10-13.
 
Bracks qualified for the Championships after recording two wins in the ITA Summer Series, which gave him a top-three finish in the series point standings, qualifying him for the National Summer Championships.
 
"This is a great accomplishment for Luke," head men's tennis coach Darragh Glavin said. "It's great to see the hard work he's put in pay off and I'm looking forward to seeing his results this week in Memphis."
