Umpire Awards and new White Badge officials

At the 2010 US Open, Midwest Officials were chosen for prestigious national awards. Keith Crossland from Chicago who has been a gold badge chair umpire as well as a tour supervisor for the USTA circuit events was awarded the J T McGovern award presented annually to a chair umpire or line umpire who has given a lifetime of dedication, service, and expertise to tennis officiating. We remember his start at all the local events and his quick rise into the upper levels of officiating at the Grand Slam events.

The Jack Stahr Award is presented annually to an umpire in one of the umpire's first three years at the US Open in recognition of hard work, professionalism, technical ability and cooperative attitude. The 2010 award was presented to Greg Allensworth of Canton, Ohio.

New White Badge levels were earned by these Midwest Officials. Greg Allensworth, Lee Ann Bains, Myriam Lecuerda-Orts, Ron Smith, and Phil White. Congratulations to all the officials for their special recognition.
