Winter
2010 Junior Compass Showdowns for Boys and Girls 10, 12, 14,
16, 18's. \
Elysium Tennis Club hosted the 2009 Ohio State High
School Girls Tennis Championships on Friday and Saturday the 23rd
and 24th of October. Due to inclement weather the entire state championships
were held inside on the new courts at Elysium.
In
the hot competition of Division I singles, Niki Flower put the pedal
to the metal and brought home the championship big iron. Niki is
as dominant a player to come along as there has been in quite a
while, going the entire season without losing a set. Alex Power
also played some huge tennis and finished fourth, to giving Elysium
two of the top four women in Ohio in Division I singles. Way to
go Niki and Alex, we are very proud of you!!!!
In
Division II, the incredible Li sisters, Kim My and My Linh, captured
the doubles crown, playing like tigers and capping a terrific season.
Rachael Morales lost a tough 3 setter in the singles semifinals,
and then stormed back big time to take third place in the Division
II singles competition. Great job ladies, you make us proud!!!
