Tennis career

A right-handed player from Indianapolis, Foltz was a rising star in junior tennis who was unable to fulfil her promise on the professional tour, in a career which was curtailed by serious wrist injuries. She reached a career high ranking of 55 while touring as an amateur and was runner-up at the 1984 Japan Open.

Following a series of wrist surgeries for a congenital bone disorder, she took up a scholarship to the University of Indiana and despite further injury complications made it to the top of the collegiate tennis rankings in 1988.^[1]

From 1989 to 1991 she toured professionally and she is now a psychologist living in Arizona.

Acting

Foltz starred as tennis player Missy in the 1982 film Spring Fever , with Carling Bassett.^[3]
