Timon Corwin
Men's Tennis Head Coach

Timon Corwin completed his 14th year as head coach of the Hornet men's tennis team in 2007. He has a career record of 266-120 (.689) and his teams are 77-1 in MIAA competition. Kalamazoo has finished third or higher in the country six times under Corwin. The Hornets placed second at the 1999 and 1997 NCAA Division III Championships.

In 2005, the doubles team of Michael Malvitz and Julian Seelan advanced to the NCAA III Championship match.

Corwin was named NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year in 1997 and Midwest Regional Coach of the Year in 1999.

Corwin has been a part of Kalamazoo College's prestigious tennis tradition as a player and coach. As a player under legendary coach George Acker, Corwin helped the Hornets win the 1986 NCAA Division III team championship and won the Division III singles championship in the process. In 1993, he was an assistant coach under Acker, helping the Hornets capture their third consecutive national championship.

Corwin also serves as director of the United States Tennis Association Boys 18 and 16 Super National Championships, which have been held in Kalamazoo every August since 1943. Corwin took over the USTA post after long-time director Rolla Anderson retired. Corwin had previously served as the tournament's assistant director in 1993.

He also serves as a member of the board of directors for the Western Michigan Tennis Association and the Kalamazoo YMCA. Corwin also serves on USTA committees at the Sectional and National levels.

Corwin is a full-time faculty member at Kalamazoo, teaching in the physical education department. He also serves as the director of men's athletics.

A 1991 Kalamazoo College Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, he achieved All-America honors eight times during his four-year career as a Hornet, taking the honor in both singles and doubles all four seasons. A native of Milwaukee, Wis., Corwin was also named to the All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association First Team all four years.

As a senior Corwin was awarded the prestigious Arthur Ashe Award, presented to the player who best combines athletic ability, sportsmanship and scholarship. He also became the first person in MIAA history to win both the league MVP award and the Allen B. Stowe award for sportsmanship in the same season.

The Hornet head coach competed professionally in the United States and in Europe from 1987 to 1989 and has served as a tennis instructor and coach at the Hockey-Tennis Club Schwarz-Weiss Bonn in Bonn, Germany.

Corwin received his bachelor of arts degree from Kalamazoo College in 1986 and completed a post-graduate fellowship at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn, Germany, in 1987.  He earned a degree from the Marquette University Law School in May of 1992.

Corwin's wife, Rachel, is also a graduate of Marquette University Law School and practices  juvenile law in Kalamazoo. The Corwins reside in Kalamazoo and have three sons, Tim, Felix, Oscar, and a daughter, Emma.
