Awesome!

A Portland guy and a partner he's never played with before have won the U.S. Open mixed doubles tennis tournament in the Big Apple. Congratulations to Travis Parrott and Carly Gullickson.

He's the son of Brian Parrott, Portland State's tennis coach, or at least he recently was at PSU, I'm not sure if he still is. Either way Brian has been around the Portland tennis scene for decades, and IIRC his father (Travis's grandfather) was too.

Travis was a stud at Whitford Middle School.

Brian has been instrumental in the development of many junior tennis players in the Portland area through his coaching at many of the top clubs in town. It is nice to see his son get the recognition Brian never seemed to get. Gramps Harold Parrott was also a very big player in the Portland tennis scene. Good for all of them.
