State Champions

Elysium stars bring home the trophies !!!

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!!!
