JV Tennis Tournament at Kamiakin 5/2

 

Hanford JV tennis had a tournament today. It was a really interesting day! 

Elizabeth played the #2 singles spot for Hanford. She ended up winning the silver medal for the entire #2 spot! There were 10 girls total playing for the top spot! 

All 10 schools in the league were there. She had to play all the #2 singles players in her pool of 5. There were two pools of 5 girls for 10 players total. They played first to four points was the winner. 

She beat the other 4 girls in her pool to reach the finals. She was the only girl to go 4-0! Here were her wins that got her to the gold medal round. 

Chiawana 4-1

Walla Walla 4-3

Sageview 4-2

Southridge: 4-0

The other pool had Richland, Kennewick, Kamiakin, Hermiston, and Pasco. 

Elizabeth played the Richland girl from the other pool for the gold medal and lost 4-2. It was hot and I think she was about to faint, but she played hard. The Richland girl was the same girl who had barely beat her a few weeks before when they played Richland. 

She was so happy and proud of her silver medal! 

Hanford tennis won the whole thing overall!  They won both the #1 and #2 doubles gold medals and Elizabeth won silver for the #2 singles. 

Elizabeth had some fans!

Match #4

Below are a few pictures of her gold medal game against Richland. 

They stopped for a water break. It was really hot by that point especially out on the courts. Elizabeth says her feet really start burning on hot days. 

The bracket. You can see that Hanford won the top pool and Richland won the bottom pool so those 2 girls played each other for gold. 

Happy with her silver medal. 

With some of the other girls who won medals for hanford!
