LOGAN, Utah - Utah State head women's tennis coach Veronika Golanova announced the addition of Colton Tegtmeier to the staff as an assistant coach.
 
"I am excited to have Colton join us as an assistant coach," Golanova said. "His passion for coaching and experience with a top nationally-ranked program is the perfect addition to the Aggie family."
 
Tegtmeier joins USU after spending the 2022-23 season as a volunteer assistant coach at Iowa State. Tegtmeier helped the Cyclones to a 21-6 overall record and a spot in the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament. ISU finished the season as the eighth-ranked team in the ITA national rankings and had four players named to the all-Big 12 singles and doubles teams.
 
"I'm so thankful to Veronika about the opportunity that I've been granted with the Aggies," Tegtmeier said. "I see so much potential within the women in this program and I cannot wait to take this team to the top of the Mountain West."
 
Tegtmeier played his collegiate career at Brandeis University where he was a four-year starter and helped lead the team to the NCAA Tournament in 2021, its first appearance since 1989. The Judges advanced to the Elite Eight with Tegtmeier serving as team captain.
 
A native of Madison, Wisconsin, Tegtmeier held the No. 1 singles spot all four years of his high school career at James Madison Memorial High School and was a state champion as a senior.
 
Tegtmeier earned a bachelor's degree with majors in chemistry and philosophy from Brandeis and is currently studying for a master's degree in higher education administration from Iowa State.
