Known as the City of Laredo Tennis Complex at TAMIU, the project grew from the combined efforts of the City of Laredo Parks and Recreation Department, TAMIU Athletics Department, Laredo Tennis Association (LTA), and the United States Tennis Association (USTA). On hand to usher in a new age for tennis at TAMIU was alumna Tina Treviño ’80, of the LTA. She and her late husband Dr. Alfredo Treviño championed the addition of tennis to TAMIU for years. “I’m filled with great excitement, joy, and pride to see that the courts have come to fruition. My late husband and I dreamed of a facility like this to serve all present and future tennis players in our beloved City of Laredo. Our community deserves this high-quality facility,” Treviño enthused. At 2021 groundbreaking ceremonies the late TAMIU president Dr. Pablo Arenaz lauded the project. “This is a public-public project. We worked long and hard to get this done in a great partnership with the City of Laredo,” he said then. The Tennis Complex is a recipient of the USTA’s annual Outstanding Facility Awards recognizing excellence in tennis facilities construction throughout the nation see go.tamiu.edu/usta-award25.
