Dutifully plastering the Yard and the Houses with strategically placed posters about the Radcliffe Tennis Club, interest in the organization began to mount.

She also made table tents to put out in the dining halls to the same effect, all encouraging interested athletes to contact her via e-mail.

All of these tactics proved to be hugely successful as potentially interested women athletes contacted Petrovic in droves about the club.

"The club membership has now grown to include over 60 dedicated members," Petrovic said. "Furthermore, the club also has a 20-person competitive ladder who compete intra- and intercollegiately."

Petrovic credits the exponential increase in membership in part to her tireless advertising and also to the heavy recruitment of incoming freshman that played high school varsity tennis. Gordon Graham, the women's varsity Coach, also referred many potential athletes to the Radcliffe Tennis Club as a possible alternative to varsity athletics.

"Coming to Harvard, I didn't have the time or the ability to devote to varsity-level athletics. I missed the competition and camaraderie of high school tennis," Wilkinson said. "I can go out and play tennis with a friend, but it's not the same as traveling with a team to play a rival school."

Wilkinson has earned herself a spot on the competitive ladder of intercollegiate competition. Competing in two matches this year, she has proven herself a formidable opponent.

Although she fell at No. 4 singles against MIT earlier this year, and No. 1 singles most recently against Winsor Academy, she was able to take the top spots in both her doubles matches.
