Glatch Signs with Octagon (press release)

Glatch Signs with Octagon
--
Alexa Glatch, of Newport Beach CA, has signed with Octagon, the sports marketing agency announced yesterday. Glatch, 15, is currently ranked seventh in the world in the ITF junior rankings, having recently won the Easter Bowl 18s singles and doubles titles.


And although her gender means that she doesn't play in Kalamazoo, Glatch does have a local connection. She is currently coached by Katie Schlukebir, a former USTA High Performance coach, who grew up in nearby Mattawan. Schlukebir won the Girls National title in 1992, was an All-American at Stanford, graduating with honors in 1997, and spent six years on the WTA tour.

For more on Glatch, here's a story from her local paper that I missed last week.
