DALLAS – Middle Tennessee freshman Kacper Szymkowiak has been named the Conference USA Athlete of the Week after a dominant start to the 2025 season, according to a release from the conference office.
This is Szymkowiak's first C-USA honor as a Blue Raider. During the ITA Kickoff Weekend, he helped MTSU clinch the overall match win against Miami, defeating his opponent 6-3, 6-1. He improved his overall record to 2-0 this season and has the potential to be a key option on Court 5 for head coach Jimmy Borendame.
