The Queens placed first as a team! Sessie Haan, state qualifier from 2024, defeated Kate Holland 10-3 in match play. Kate is the 1A state runner up from 2024. Sescie then teamed with Maddie Rowden, also a double gold medalist today like Sescie, to clinch the #1 varsity doubles, with teammates Lou Gonzalez and Josie Srp bringing in the gold at number three doubles. Teammates Katie Atkinson and Elizabeth Grinnall placed 2nd in #2 doubles. Grinnall lost a tight one 6-7 to Decorah for a silver in #3 singles, Gonzalez placed 2nd also at #4. Josie Srp took a silver in another 6-7 match at #5. Finally, Katie Atkinson at #6 brought in a gold! It's always a great competition every year. It helps the queens, who have the entire team back from 2024, who finished in the final 8 at state last year to get ready for Mac Conference and State this year. The Queens are working hard to be at the top in team state in 2025. I'm a very blessed coach to have such wonderful athletes that understand the meaning of being a team, great assistant coaches, and wonderful supportive parents. As they say...It's always a great day to be a River Queen!
