Sep 02, 2016 | Men's Tennis
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M has reached an agreement in principle with Men's Tennis Head Coach Steve Denton on a new contract extension, Director of Athletics Scott Woodward announced Thursday. The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents authorized University President Michael K. Young to negotiate and execute Denton's contract at its meeting earlier today.
"We are excited to announce that Coach Denton will remain in Aggieland and I appreciate the Regents and President Young working to ensure our continued success in men's tennis," Woodward said. "We have a tremendous team of coaches here at Texas A&M and Coach Denton continues to build champions on and off the court."
Texas A&M will extend Denton's existing contract through the 2021 season. Denton has led Texas A&M to a 208-96 record in 10 seasons in Aggieland. Over the past decade the Maroon & White have advanced to at least the second round of the NCAA Tournament each season, including a trio of appearances in the Sweet 16 and a trip to the 2015 Elite Eight. Additionally, the Aggies have claimed a pair of SEC Tournament titles as well as the 2015 SEC regular season crown.
"Heading into my 11th season in College Station and the Texas A&M administration continues to be so supportive of me and our program," Denton said. "I look forward to continuing to lead the Texas A&M tennis program for many years and I think our best tennis has yet to come."
The Aggies are looking forward to another successful year after the team finished the 2015-16 season ranked No. 14 in the ITA poll. The Maroon & White return to the courts this fall with an impressive slate of tournaments including the ITA All-American in Tulsa and ITA Indoor Championships in New York.
