A teaching pro who was for years the state’s premier player, Tracy laid the foundation of the tennis community in Alaska, particularly in Anchorage. She created tennis programs for kids and adults, put on scores of clinics and lured top professionals to Alaska to teach at camps. She was director of tennis for The Alaska Club for more than a decade and reigned as the state’s top singles, doubles and mixed doubles player for even longer. In mixed doubles alone, she boasted more than 20 state championships with her partner and husband, Gregg Tracy. She moved to Anchorage in 1974 and 10 years later became the first Alaskan to play at the U.S. Open. She advanced to the 1984 women’s over-35 women’s doubles finals with partner Margaret Russo; they lost to Billie Jean King and Rosie Casals.
