Ed Gulick will go into the Pomona-Pitzer Hall of Fame this spring as the sixth men's tennis student-athlete to be inducted after leaving his mark on the Pomona College tennis program in 1963. 

Gulick graduated from El Camino High School, where he participated in track & field, tennis and basketball. He graduated as one of the top students with his GPA ranked sixth in his class. He was a part of Wheel Club and was awarded a State Scholarship before heading to Pomona College to continue his education and compete at the collegiate level for tennis.

Gulick graduated from Pomona College in 1963 after spending four years as a member of the Pomona College men's tennis team. He cemented himself as one of the best players of his time after earning the title of team captain, SCIAC singles champion, NAIA District III singles champion and SCIAC doubles champion. 

Gulick had a significant run during his senior year that saw him finish his Sagehens career in the quarterfinals of both the NCAA Division III singles and doubles competition. During that season, Gulick also had a win over John Lee of LA State who went on to win the Division II national championship later that season.

After graduation, Gulick continued his tennis career overseas and played in seven clay court tournaments in Austria and two grass tournaments in England. he reached the semifinals in the French NCAA equivalent, trained as a linesman/umpire and helped found Monterey Umpires. He then went into coaching as a high school tennis coach and became the Head pro at Carmel Valley Racquet Club and Head Pro at Foothills Tennis Club in Palo Alto.

Gulick is now retired after four careers as a high school history teacher, teaching tennis for 15 years, a real estate appraiser and a biotech lab support/charting and excel specialist. He is still playing tennis to this day at 82 years of age.
