Plum grad Yurovsky earns national award
Ronit Yurovsky dominated WPIAL and PIAA competition the last few years while playing for the Plum girls tennis team.
That success has helped Yurovsky earn national acclaim.
Yurovsky, a recent graduate of Plum, was recently named the National High School Coaches Association Senior Athlete of the Year for girls tennis.
A Michigan recruit, Yurovsky was a two-time PIAA Class AAA singles champion and three time WPIAL singles champion.
Here is Yurovsky’s bio from the NHSCA website.
Ranked the No. 8 recruit nationally by tennisrecruiting.net and the top-ranked player from the Middle Atlantic region, Yurovsky completed her career by winning her second consecutive 3A state singles title last fall. She was a four-time state placewinner, finishing third in state as a sophomore and second in state as a freshman. Before winning her second state title, Yurovsky became just the second girl to become a three-time Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) singles champion. She lost just five singles matches in her high school career and was undefeated in regular-season play. Currently ranked No. 16 on the USTA Under-18 girls list, Yurovsky owns a 14-8 Junior record. The University of Michigan recruit claimed the singles title at the 2010 USTA Interscholastics Championship East and was a bronze ball winner as a semifinalist at the 2008 Easter Bowl. This winter, she was a semifinalist in the USTA Under-18 Regional Segment and a finalist in the USTA Under-18 National Open, both held in Grand Rapids, Mich. Yurovsky is a volunteer for the Make a Wish Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Fund.
