Nicki Ross and Corey Delaney are mentioned in the Sports Illustrated March 15, 2010 issue in the Faces in the Crowd section. The two won their second straight 18-and-under National Championship at the 2010 APTA Junior Nationals. It was their 4th national championship as a pair. Read the article
A team from the late 1970s and early 1980s (Meg Foster and Claire Slaughter) and Delaney and Ross are the only 4-time gold medalists in history in the girls division. Corey and Nicki have two more years of eligibility left in the junior ranks, so they have plenty of time to add to their resumes!
Platform Tennis is mentioned in Sports Illustrated for the first time since May 10, 1999 when Scott Mansager, Flip Goodspeed and Sue Aery made Faces in the Crowd.
(All three of those players have been inducted into the Platform Tennis Hall of Fame.)
The August 14, 1989 edition of Faces in the Crowd featured Corey's mother, Bobo Mangan (Delaney) along with partner Sarah Krieger.
