Mounds View boys’ and girls’ tennis coach Mike Cartwright has been named one of 12 national finalists for the United States Tennis Association’s Starfish Award, which honors high school coaches who implement a “no-cut” policy for their teams.

“Michael truly exemplifies the time, effort and planning it takes, not just to be a USTA No-Cut coach, but a successful coach that’s made a difference in the lives of students and their communities,” said Kirk Anderson, USTA director of recreational coaches and programs. “It is quite an honor
to be one of the 12 coaches selected considering there are over 2,000 No-Cut high school coaches nationwide. To be considered in the top one percent of your profession is remarkable.” 

The USTA will recognize the two national winners at the 38th annual USTA Tennis Teachers Conference on Aug. 25 in New York City.
