RYAN HOLDER
Ryan Holder was a remarkable 16 year old young man from Lexington who died in a tragic automobile accident. Ryan began playing tennis at the relatively late age of 12 years old and progressed rapidly to the top of his age group. His accomplishments include: Junior Davis Cup, National Zonal Tennis Team, High School Regional Singles Champion and the Kentucky High School All-State Tennis Team. Ryan's zeal for competition, his enduring smile and his many friends remain a part of his legacy. We would like to thank Ryan's parents, Karen and Richard, for their continued support and involvement with this tournament. We would also like to thank Coaches Dennis and Brenda Emery for their continued involvement and helping make The Holder a sucess year after year. The Wildcat Tennis Club is honored to host the annual Ryan C. Holder Memorial State Closed Junior Tennis Tournament.
