WATERLOO / WAVERLY, Iowa -- The first American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) multi-school event of the 2026-27 academic year is in the books. The 2026 A-R-C Men's Tennis Individual Tournament took place in Waterloo, Iowa and Waverly, Iowa on Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26. Medals for the entire tournament were awarded in eight flights - A-, B-, C-, D-, and E-Singles and A-, B-, and C-Doubles. Headlining the winners were A-Singles champion Anthony Schulte of Coe College and A-Doubles duo Luke Doig and Daniel Rohlman of Coe College.
Friday was delayed an hour due to wet court conditions, but turned into a great day of tennis at Byrnes Park in Waterloo. On Saturday, wet conditions persisted, so play was conducted inside at Black Hawk Tennis Center in Waterloo and at Wartburg College in Waverly.
