The Chillicothe girls' tennis team will send one singles player and a
doubles team to the state individual tournament.
On October 5th, the three Chillicothe tennis
players who qualified for Sectionals traveled to Excelsior Springs to
battle for a coveted State Tennis spot. Only District Champions and
Runners-up competed at Sectionals #8 from both District 15 and 14, and the
athletes had to win their one and only match of the night to continue on
to the State competition.
Senior Cami Carpenter, in her third and final trip to
Sectionals, confidently captured her Singles win in straight sets against
Excelsior Springs 6-2, 6-1. Juniors Rylee Washburn and Isabella Garr also
won in straight sets against Excelsior Springs 6-0, 6-0. In the other two
Section 8 contests of the night, Cameron singles and Trenton Doubles won
their matches to move on to State as well, which meant that Chillicothe's
own District 15 competition claimed all six State spots.
The Lady Hornet netters will compete in the Missouri
State Individual Championship bracket at the Cooper Tennis Complex in
Springfield, MO beginning Friday, October 14th at 1 PM with play
continuing Saturday morning for the athletes still winning. |
