PROVO, Utah — BYU’s Kendall Kovick and Gracie Levelston will compete at the NCAA National Doubles Championships this week in Orlando, Florida, marking the program’s latest appearance on the national stage. Tournament play begins Wednesday and continues throughout the week.
Kovick, a senior from Las Vegas, Nevada, and Levelston, a junior from Vero Beach, Florida, return for their second seasons at BYU and enter the event after a strong fall season as a newly formed doubles team. Despite not playing alongside one another last year, the pair quickly developed into one of BYU’s most steady combinations, earning a place in the national field through consistent results at early-season tournaments.
The Cougars open against North Carolina’s Reese Brantmeier and Alanis Hamilton, a duo with significant national experience. Brantmeier has competed in the U.S. Open main draw and has been ranked among the top American juniors. At the same time, Hamilton has been a key contributor for a Tar Heel program that regularly finishes among the nation’s top teams. Their background makes them one of the toughest pairings in the field.
This week’s appearance continues BYU’s history of sending doubles teams to ITA national events, with previous qualifiers in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 2006, 2022 and 2023.
