Today’s BHM Spotlight is Wingate’s own and current board of Trustee member Dr. Audley Bell ‘72, who also holds the distinction of the first black tennis player in Wingate history!! Born in Jamaica, Dr. Bell learn to play tennis while working as a ballboy at Montego Bay tennis club. Dr. Bell aspired to become a professional player, and he would eventually go on to a brief pro career and make a Davis cup appearance for his home country. Audley, a 2 year National Junior College All-American, help lead his team to Back to back Junior College Tennis team championships in ‘70 and ‘71. Our last graphic had a misspelling of Dr. Bell’s name. Thank you to for the correction.
