Kuyama navigated his way through the singles bracket and emerged as the ITA Midwest Region champion as he went 5-0 in a three-day span at Center Grove High School.
A mixture of G-MAC and Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) institutions were in the field including Southern Indiana, host UIndy and Illinois Springfield and William Jewell.
Kuyama won in straight sets in the championship match vs. UIndy’s Renato Lima, 6-4, 6-4.
After a first-round bye, the homegrown Findlay sophomore toppled another Greyhound, Max Witthaus, 6-1, 6-3. He advanced and rallied back to eliminate UIndy’s Tom Zeuch in the subsequent round.
The next domino to fall was UIndy’s Yoann Viel and Kuyama defeated him by another straight set score, this time 6-3, 6-2.
In the semifinals, Kuyama was victorious vs. UIS’ Manno Servaes by a 6-3, 7-5, final to advance into Monday’s championship final.
This is Kuyama’s second conference athlete of the week award after winning as a freshman back on March 11 of 2020.
