Berwyn native Tristan McCormick uses his formidable size and strength to his advantage on the tennis court at the University of Georgia, one of the top-ranked men’s teams in the country, writes John Frierson for GeorgiaDogs.com. 

The 6-foot-4 graduate student transferred to Georgia after competing at Notre Dame for four years and has had an immediate impact with the Bulldogs, who are ranked No. 11 in the nation.

McCormick teamed up with Hamish Stewart to form the program’s No. 1 doubles team this spring and played singles matches at Nos. 2, 3, and 4. He’s also made an impression off the court and was named to the SEC’s Community Service Team. 

When he was growing up, McCormick looked to his siblings for inspiration. 

“I have an older brother and an older sister, and they actually both played at West Point (Army), and they were the reason I first started playing,” he said.

Although he grew up in Chester County, McCormick’s family now lives in Florida. 

“I loved growing up in Philadelphia, and I love spending time in Florida now,” he said.
