BOULDER – Colorado women's tennis signed Carrington Hayes to a National Letter of Intent, announced by head Coach Anthony Pham Monday.
Â
"We are very excited to welcome Carri to the Buff tennis family," said Pham. "Carri possesses strong character and a fantastic work ethic. She has already accomplished a fair bit in her junior career but we really feel like her game still has so much more room to grow. Carri comes from a great family and we are confident that she will excel as a Buff on the court, in the classroom and be a great representative in the community."

Hayes is a 5-4 incoming freshman out of Boca Raton, Florida. She was recognized as top-10 recruit in the southeast region per tennis recruiting and was awarded the "most competitive award" by the Evert Tennis Academy. She is currently rated as a five-star recruit and has ranked as high as 11th in the nation.
Â
Her favorite moment of her high school career came in April, 2019 when she was the singles finalist at an ITF grade four junior tennis tournament in Barbados.
Â
Hayes intends to study communications and specifically media studies at CU. She enjoys music, movies, and photography in her free time,
Â
Hayes was recruited by Arizona, Oregon, Florida State, and Vanderbilt, choosing to become a Buff due to her love for the campus and coaching staff.
