AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head tennis coach Jaron Maestas has announced the signing of Spaniard Julia Camblor.

 “Julia is going to be a great addition to this year’s class,” Maestas said. “She’ll bring energy and a smile to the program that will have an immediate impact.”

 Camblor, who hails from Gijon in the Asturias province, brings a 9.11 universal tennis rating (UTR). She’s had a WTA high of 1,299 and ITF women’s high of 458. Camblor will be a freshman in the fall.
