The evolution of Hanover’s outdoor athletic facilities took another step when the College broke ground in May on new tennis courts within the L.S. Ayres Athletic Complex. More than 100 people attended the ceremony that featured comments from donors Michael ’77 and Judy Zeddies, who provided funding for the project. Michael Zeddies is a member of Hanover’s board of trustees. Phil Scott ’64, who serves as trustee chairman, presided over the event, which also included remarks from President Sue DeWine, Athletic Director Lynn Nichols Hall ’82, Head Men’s and Women’s Tennis Coach Richard Lord and players Allie Gullett and Matt Strandmark.
Construction has begun on eight cushioned-asphalt courts, along with a covered pavilion and bleachers. The courts, located adjacent to the south end of L.S. Ayres Field, are due for completion later this fall. Michael Zeddies is the owner of Midland Marketing, Inc. and his wife, Judy, is a graphic artist. The couple resides in Chicago, Ill. The College will host a formal dedication ceremony for the courts, Saturday, Oct. 22, during Hanover’s Hall of Fame Weekend.
