Tennis
A two-time All-American, Marcia Hunt is one of the most decorated women’s tennis players in Carleton history. She and teammate Leslie Gale ’91 were runners-up in the doubles competition at the NCAA Division III Championships in 1990 and 1991. Both years Hunt also earned Academic All-American status.
In 1992 she reached the NCAA Championships in singles and doubles, advancing to the quarterfinals in doubles with Mona Shaw ’93. Hunt won the MIAC doubles crown in 1991 and 1992 and was named all-conference in doubles all four years and singles in 1992. She captained the team from 1990-1992.
Hunt excelled in the classroom, graduating magna cum laude while majoring in English and earning academic all-conference distinction for three years. For her leadership, performance on the court, and academic excellence, Hunt was honored with the prestigious Arthur Ashe NCAA Division III Leadership and Sportsmanship Award in 1992. That same season she received Carleton’s NCAA Woman Athlete of the Year Award and the MIAC’s Chris Evert Sportsmanship Award, which recognizes a senior with outstanding sportsmanship and exemplary athletic, academic, and humanitarian accomplishments.
