2025-04-15

The Concordia men’s tennis team is experiencing a historic season, with achievements surpassing the past six years combined. A pivotal figure in this turnaround is Logan Sandberg, a Grand Forks Central graduate known for his prowess in singles play. His consistent performance has been instrumental in securing victories.

Sandberg's recent streak of six consecutive wins highlights his dominance on the court. Under the guidance of first-year coach David Youngs, Sandberg has adopted a mindset focused on controllable aspects rather than outcomes, leading to improved results. This mental shift was evident in crucial matches, such as the victory over St. John’s, marking the Cobbers' first win against them since 2017.

Beyond tennis, local sports achievements continue to shine. Two prominent wrestling coaches, Todd Bergeron and Efrem Novacek, are set to be honored in the Minnesota Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Their contributions to high school wrestling have left lasting impacts, producing numerous state champions and medalists. Meanwhile, Jory Vasek from UND has broken the program's 400-meter record, showcasing exceptional athletic ability and setting new benchmarks for future competitors.

These accomplishments underscore the dedication and hard work of athletes and coaches alike. They exemplify how focusing on personal growth and perseverance can lead to remarkable achievements, inspiring others to strive for excellence in their respective fields. Through commitment and resilience, these individuals continue to elevate their sports communities, fostering an environment of motivation and success.
