Case Western Reserve University Men's Tennis

Wojtkowski has built CWRU into a national power. Under Wojkowski's leadership, the Spartans have qualified for the NCAA Division III Championships three times, most recently during the 2016 campaign, as the team advanced to the round of 16.  During the season, the Spartans tied a program record for wins in a season with a 22-8 overall record, and reached a program-high fifth in the ITA National Rankings on March 17th.  In addition, CWRU hosted and finished third at the ITA Indoor Championships, while seniors CJ Krimbill and Louis Stuerke reached the semifinals of the NCAA Doubles Championships for the second straight year, with both earning All-America honors.  Krimbill was also named to the Academic All-America First Team and received an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.  In 2014, Wojkowski coached Eric Klawitter and CJ Krimbill to the 2014 NCAA Doubles Championship. The national title, a program first, came just days after the Spartans became the first team in school history to play in the NCAA Elite 8.  Academically, Krimbill was named just the third Capital One Academic All-American® in team history, and Derek Reinbold became the first CWRU student-athlete to win a prestigious NCAA Elite 89 Award. Collectively, the Spartans earned an ITA All-Academic Team award. In 2012-13, Wojtkowski was named the ITA Central Region Coach of the Year as the Spartans reached the NCAA Sweet 16. Along with earning the first team berth to the NCAA Tournament in program history, the Spartans (22-7) shattered the school record for wins and reached as high as No. 7 in the ITA national poll. Then a freshman, Krimbill became the schools first ITA All-American as well as Central Region Rookie of the Year. He was also the second CWRU player in as many years to be tabbed UAA Rookie of the Year as a program-record six Spartans landed on the All-Association Team. Wojtkowski was named to his post on August 25, 2008 as only the second dual head tennis coach in school history. He guided the Spartan women in addition to the men for his first five years. Both teams Wojtkowski inherited that fall sat near the bottom of the UAA and were unranked in the ITA Central Region. However, he quickly established a new standard of play and turned the program into one of the best in the nation. On the womens side, Wojtkowskis five seasons as head coach were highlighted by the first national ranking in program history, a team-record for wins (18 in 2011-12) and the first NCAA qualifier in team history (freshman Sara Zargham in 2013). Prior to coming to University Circle, Wojtkowski spent two seasons as an assistant coach at NCAA Division I The Citadel. During his time in Charleston, South Carolina, he helped the program to its first-ever national ranking and a 16-9 record in 2007-08 after winning just two matches the previous year. The Youngstown, Ohio-native and 2012 Ursuline High School Athletic Hall of Fame inductee spent three years playing at the University of Toledo before transferring to The Ohio State University. As a scholarship student-athlete at Toledo, Wojtkowski was a three-time Varsity T award winner, Team Leadership Award winner and team captain. He redshirted his senior (first) year at Ohio State, playing for the Buckeyes during his first year of graduate school. The team won a Big Ten Championship and rose to a No. 5 national ranking. Wojtkowski earned several awards, including the Ohio State Scholar-Athlete Award, the 2006 Senior Leader Award and the Mens Varsity "O" Post-Graduate Scholarship. Wojtkowski earned his bachelor's degree in middle childhood education in 2006 from Ohio State and completed a Master of Business Administration at The Citadel in 2008. Updated August 2016
