The Lady Jay tennis team competed in the 6A State Tennis Tournament this past weekend at Harmon Park in Prairie Village. For the Lady Jays, Hannah Micheel competed in singles and Julia Cho and Gracie Erichsen competed in doubles.
Hannah Micheel started off the day with a tough 3rd set supertiebreaker loss, before rebounding to win her next two matches 8-3 and 8-2 to qualify for the second day of the tournament. On the second day, she lost her first two matches 8-6 to players from Blue Valley HS and Lawrence Free State, before winning her last match against Blue Valley West 8-6. That earned her the 11th place medal.
Julia Cho and Gracie Erichsen also started their tournament with a 3rd set supertiebreaker loss. They then dropped their second match of the tournament to Olathe South by the score of 8-3 ending their tournament run. Olathe Northwest won the team title. Overall, the Lady Jay team finished in 14th place and capped off the most successful season in recent team history.
