Kelly Fillnow was a two-sport star for both the cross country and women’s tennis programs during her four-year career at Davidson. As a runner, the Pittsburgh, Pa., native was a two-time all-conference honoree and led the Wildcats to their first-ever Southern Conference title as a junior in 2003 with her second place finish. On the tennis court, Fillnow is the only player in program history to be named to an all-conference team eight times during her career. She was a first-team pick three times in singles and teamed up with her twin sister Meghan to earn first-team honors in 2004. The Wildcats’ No. 1 singles and doubles player all four years, Fillnow finished her career with 71 wins in singles and added another 67 victories in doubles, with 65 of those victories coming with her sister. She hit the double-digit mark in wins all four years in singles and doubles, reaching a career-best 21 as a junior in 2004 in both singles and doubles. Fillnow was just as good in conference matches, finishing with a career singles mark of 24-13 and a record of 25-12 in doubles. Davidson went a combined 68-29 during Fillnow’s four years and she helped the Wildcats reach the SoCon Tournament Championship match twice. Kelly is a professional triathlete and business owner (Fillnow Coaching) helping athletes of all abilities to reach their fitness goals.
