Wilson, NC, February 28, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Mississippi College and Lindenwood University, two leading collegiate table tennis teams, will be present in full force at the 2015 Butterfly Arnold Table Tennis Challenge. Both teams are looking to gain tournament experience and sharpen their skills for the upcoming National Collegiate Championships later this spring. Mississippi College and Lindenwood University table tennis teams are two of the most active collegiate table tennis teams in the US, participating in more than 6 tournaments a semester to stay tournament tough and competition ready.

Mississippi College (Clinton, MS) will bring their top players including 2014 National Collegiate Singles Champion Cheng Li (2578) and his highly skilled team mates Yi Chi Zhang (2546) and new comer Tong Zhang (~2600). Having finished second to Texas Wesleyan University for 3 consecutive years at the National Collegiate Championships, Mississippi College is determined to take the title this year. The highly rated team will compete fiercely at the 2015 Butterfly Arnold Table Tennis Challenge with the goal of improving their skills to take home championship titles both at the event and in future tournaments.

Last weekend, Lindenwood University (St. Louis, MO) cleanly won the Collegiate Midwest Regional tournament, and their players are looking to continue to sharpen their skills at the 2015 Butterfly Arnold Table Tennis Challenge. The Lindenwood team will bring 9 players over 2150, many of whom are highly ranked in the elite rating events. Lindenwood’s currently highest rated player, Gabriel Skolnick (2369) is top seed in the U-2400 event. While Austin Preiss (2297), Danny Dulkin (2293) and Ahmed Hendawi (2285) hold the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots respectively in the U-2300 event.
