In a bit of a surprise, Janice Shin made the singles field for Fall Nationals! I thought she'd be on the wrong side of the at-large bubble, but there must have been enough players ranked ahead of her that (like Arbuthnott) failed to meet the at-large requirements of advancing far enough in specific tournaments. In any event, she's in!
No draws yet, but the field is final. Stanford's two entrants are below our usual standard, and we're outpaced by several other teams. UNC leads all schools with 4, and there are several schools with 3 players in the field (including Cal, Duke, N.C. State, Oklahoma State, UCF, and UCLA).
In doubles, Arbuthnott/Blake were the only possible Stanford selection due to how the rankings worked, so no surprises joining them in the field. In what might be concerning for the spring, UCLA has three doubles teams in the field, and a couple other teams have two (N.C. State, UNC, Oklahoma State, and UCF).
So, Janice Shin will join the trio of Gordon, Arbuthnott, and Blake in Newport Beach, while Madurawe and Choy (and Higuchi and Mossmer, if they're healthy) will be in San Diego.
