ITA Rookie of the Year Award
Sylwia Mikos from the University of Chicago has been named the 2022 ITA Rookie of the Year.
In 2022, Mikos had one of the best seasons not only out of the freshman at the Division III level, but out of all players as well.
Playing from the No. 1 singles and doubles positions for the Maroons, Mikos achieved a 27-5 singles record in 2022, including a perfect 17-0 record in dual matches.
Mikos has been named the UAA Player and Freshman of the Year in 2022, and has earned ITA Singles and Doubles All-American status for her play this season.
In the final year-end rankings, Mikos finished as the No. 2 ranked singles player in the nation while ranking No 4 in the doubles rankings with partner Shianna Guo.
A Letter From Head Coach Jay Tee
Sylwia has never been interested in the spotlight, individual awards, or accolades, though she is deserving of every one of them that comes her way, especially ITA National Rookie of the Year.
From her first day on campus through the conclusion of her incredible first year, Sylwia has been the same hard-working, positive, mature, and energetic person every day.
It's those traits, and her undeniable will to win for her teammates, that led her to a year so remarkable that it was easy to forget that she was a freshman.
Sylwia's teammates and I are so grateful to have her fighting alongside us and cannot wait to see what the next three years hold for her and the team.
