Zane Navratil, a native of Racine, Wis., and graduate of The Prairie School, is a member of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater men's tennis team, which will make its 11th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Division III Championship starting Friday in a six-team regional at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn.

The Warhawks (14-11 overall), who earned a Pool B bid to the national tournament, will face Concordia (Wis.), an automatic qualifier from the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference, on Friday at 10 a.m.
