Introducing... the Ignat Cup!
Middlebury Indoor Tennis and the Middlebury Union High School Boys Tennis Team competed in their first (and hopefully annual) Community Match on April 8, 2023 at MIT. Teams were competing for the coveted Ignat Cup, honoring MIT founders David and Eleanor Ignat. MIT fielded a men's team to take on the MUHS Tigers as they prepared for their spring season. There was amazing tennis, good sportsmanship, and an overall fun afternoon for players and spectators. MIT's Community Team prevailed 8-4 and were the winners of the first Ignat Cup - a charmingly repurposed trophy that now resides in the club lobby. Thank you to MUHS Boys Tennis coach, Ken Schoen for organizing this event!

MIT Goes Solar!
We are happy to report that MIT's electrical usage is now fully supplied by the solar panels that have been installed on our club's roof. Thanks to Caleb Kenna's drone photography, we can give you a glimpse of what they look like!
