MSU Billings Hires Tennis Center Director
(Mar. 31, 2005)
BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings
Athletics Director Dr. Gary Gray announced Thursday that
Angela Henke
has been hired as the Director of the Indoor Tennis
Center. Constructed three years ago, the Indoor Center
has been home to the Yellowjacket tennis teams, intramural
programs, and public tennis players.
“Jerry Peach, our men’s and women’s
tennis coach, has been managing the Tennis Center along
with coaching both tennis teams and teaching several
classes,” said Gray of the new Tennis Center Director
position. “Hiring Angela will allow Coach Peach to focus
on his teaching and coaching responsibilities while giving
us someone who can put her energies into the Tennis
Center. Angela has a breadth of experience in athletics
and has very strong organizational skills. I think she
will do a great job of expanding the use of the Indoor
Tennis Center for both the campus community and the
general public.”
A native of Anchorage, Alaska, Henke
graduated from University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2003
with an undergraduate degree in kinesiology. While at
UNLV she interned in the sports medicine program. Henke
will complete her master’s degree in Sport Management at
MSU Billings in December. She served as a graduate
assistant for operations and sports information for the
2004-2005 academic year.
“This is a great opportunity for me,”
said Henke. “I think the Indoor Tennis Center has the
potential to be an outstanding resource for the university
and the community. The playing surfaces are some of the
best in the area for tennis, and the facility can hold a
large variety of events at any time of the year. I love
Montana and the Billings area, and I am appreciative to
Dr. Gray for giving me the opportunity to stay here and do
something I enjoy.”
