Relive Kelly Yenn’s Triumph at the 2025 NCTTA Nationals

Last month, Harvard’s Kelly Yenn took center stage at the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association Nationals, delivering a performance that propelled her to win the coveted title of 2025 NCTTA Female Athlete of the Year.

Kelly’s relentless drive and technical mastery highlighted her journey as one of the most promising talents in college table tennis. Her fierce rivalry with Boston University’s Emily Tan electrified the competition and demonstrated the intense passion present at this level of play.

As the official equipment sponsor of college table tennis, Paddle Palace is honored to support athletes like Kelly who embody the spirit and dedication of the sport. We believe that top-level gear is essential to unlocking true potential, and Kelly’s success is a testament to this partnership.
