The impact of Tracy Tanner MacDonald on the collegiate tennis scene was first noticed when she received a USTA All-America award in her freshman year, an honor usually reserved for juniors and seniors. Three more All-America awards followed during her four-year career: one in 1981 from the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW - the precursor to the NCAA) and two in 1981 from the Women's Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association.
Nationally ranked as a junior player in Las Vegas, Nevada, before coming to BYU, Tracy bolstered her collegiate status in 1978 by winning the National Clay Court Doubles Championship in Florida and by reaching the finals of the Amateur Clay Court Championships in Pennsylvania and the U.S. National 21-and-Under Championships.
At this time she had the No. 1 ranking in the country in 21-and-under doubles.
In each of her four years as a Cougar, she was all-conference in both singles and doubles. In 1981 she was ranked No. 1 in singles in the Intermountain Athletic Conference and AIAW Region VII.
Tracy's discipline, intensity, and consistency contributed greatly to the high national placements earned by her BYU squad: fifth at the AIAW national championships in 1979, fourth in 1980 and sixth in 1981.
Tracy, moreover, was recognized with other major honors while at BYU. She was given the Kimball Memorial Scholarship Award by the Cougar Club for having the highest GPA of any athlete in 1980, male or female.
As a fitting climax to her collegiate career, she was selected 1981 honoree of the Leona B. Holbrook Spirit of Sport Award, the highest tribute a BYU woman athlete can receive.
After leaving school as a business major, Tracy managed the Ridge Athletic Club for six years. She has also been involved in real estate development.
In 1988 she was inducted into the Utah Summer Games Hall of Fame.
