Chris Conger is in his seventh season (1999-present) at the helm of the Forester women's tennis team and is easily the program's most successful coach in the last 25 years.

Last year the Foresters posted a 12-5 record and placed second as a team at the Midwest Conference Championship Tournament. The squad won three of four MWC South matches to repeat as the division's runner-up after four years atop the standings.

Lake Forest has recorded a 66-28 record in Conger's six years and won at least 10 matches five times, including four seasons in a row, a feat never before accomplished since the program began in 1962. The team has placed first in the Midwest Conference South Division in four of the six seasons and owns a 21-3 record in divisional play. Lake Forest has finished no worse than third at the conference championship tournament, which it won in 1999 and 2003.

Conger has coached eight individuals and a pair of doubles teams to conference titles. In addition, he has directed the five winningest singles and doubles players in school history.

Achieving previously unheard-of success is nothing new to Conger. During his playing career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the men's basketball team, the Badgers broke the school record for best three-year cumulative record, which included the school's first back-to-back post-season tournament berths (1993 and 1994). The latter squad became the first Badger team since 1947 to earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Conger began his basketball playing career as a walk-on at Wisconsin before being elevated to a scholarship player. He was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and a three-time High Honor Dean's List member while earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Mechanics in 1995.

Conger graduated from Southwest High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and was a varsity tennis and basketball athlete. He resides in Gurnee with his wife Julie and daughter Hailey.

During the winter season, Conger is the College's Head Men's Basketball Coach and guided the Foresters to the school's first-ever outright conference championship in 1999-2000. He has twice been named the MWC Coach of the Year (1998 and 2000) and was the National Association of Basketball Coaches Midwest Region Coach of the Year in 2000.
