Tulsa, Oklahoma - University of Tulsa junior Dane McGregor has been selected to participate in the 2001 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Singles Championships in Athens, Ga., May 23-28. The bracket for the field of 64 singles players will be announced on Tuesday, May 22.

After beginning the spring with an 11-match win streak, McGregor completed the season with a singles mark of 23-9, the most wins for him in a single season, and a record of 19-5 in spring dual matches. During the 2001 spring campaign, he spent a total of 12 weeks ranked among the nation's top-100 singles players. McGregor reached his highest ranking of his career this season when he appeared in the WingspanBank.com Collegiate Tennis Rankings on March 9 as the 39th-ranked singles player in the country.

A two-time Western Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week selection in 2001, McGregor was named to the all-WAC first team in both singles and doubles.

McGregor, who completed the season as the top singles player in Region V, is just the third player in the 46-year history of the Tulsa men's tennis program to participate in the modern format of the NCAA Tennis Championships. He joins former Hurricane All-Americans Nenad Toroman (1996-2000) and Gareth Williams (1996-99) as the only TU players to play in the NCAA Singles Championships.
