DALLAS/WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (SMU/USTA)--Former Mustang letterwinner Rodney Harmon has been named head men's tennis coach of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Tennis Team, as announced by the USTA.

Harmon, who earned varsity letters at SMU in 1982 and 1983, has served as the USTA Director of Men's Tennis since January 2002. During his time at SMU, Harmon achieved a singles ranking of No. 1 in the country.

"We have the nucleus of a very competitive international men's team who will all be medal contenders in Beijing," said Harmon. "I know the American men will relish the opportunity to compete on one of the biggest stages in sport."

The 2008 U.S. Olympic tennis team will consist of up to six men, with a maximum of four men competing in singles and a maximum of two men's doubles teams. Olympic team selections will be made by June 23.

The United States has won 15 Olympic medals in men's and women's tennis since its return as a full medal sport in 1988 - more than any other nation.
