Hawai’i Hilo Athletics welcomed Guilherme De Medeiros as the new Vulcans Men’s and Women’s Tennis head coach.

A former tennis student-athlete at HPU on O’ahu from 2018-2021, De Medeiros returns to Hawai’i after wrapping up his collegiate career at Long Island University and earning a Master’s of Business Administration. While in New York, he also spent time as a tennis pro coaching at SPORTIME NY, home of the prestigious John McEnroe Tennis Academy.

A native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, De Medeiros was a six-time ITA Scholar-Athlete during his collegiate career, having initially started at Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho before transferring to HPU and further to Long Island for graduate school.

As a member of the (HPU) Sharks, he was a part of the 2019 squad that got the best of the Vulcans to claim the Pacific West Conference title in addition to making it all the way to the NCAA Championships semifinal round.

De Medeiros began his role last month.
