Kami Reichenberger received the #3 seed after a great performance at league on last Monday. She beat Maddie Davis from Wichita Trinity 6-1,6-0. They she beat Madeline Lancelot from Trinity 6-3,6-2. This was a very good match for Reichenberger because Lancelot knocked her out of regionals last season. In the semifinals Reichenberger lost to an exchange student from Circle, Alejandra Gaiton, 1-6,0-6, who she’s played a total of 3 times this season. In her final match she played Mekenna Roark from Winfield and it was an exhausting match with Reichenberger losing the first set 4-6, but then bounced back and beat Roark in a 2nd set tiebreak. Roark then defaulted the final set to give Reichenberger the 3rd place finish.

Ashlyn Gerten & Kadynce Aufdengarten also had a solid performance after they received the #4 seed. The pair beat Luna/Chabot from El Dorado 6-2,6-2. Then they played the #5 seeded team from Winfield, Richert/Norton and won an exciting 3 set match 6-2,4-6,10-4. The pair then lost to the #1 seeded Dunne/Majors from Trinity 2-6,0-6. In their final match the Wellington pair were up and down. Wellington got down early losing the first set to Glaves/Soto from Circle 3-6. Then Wellington took control of the match winning 6-0,6-1 the final two sets. This placed the Wellington pair 3rd overall.
-
Crystal Ramirez was the #7 seed and won a great opening round match over Barkus from El Dorado. Ramirez lost the first set 6-7(3-7). Ramirez was down 1-5 in the second set and won 6 straight games to win 7-5. In the finals set Ramirez won 10-6. Crystal showed so much heart in that match. Ramirez then played Madeline Lancelot from Trinity. Ramirez barely lost the first set 5-7, and then just ran out of energy losing 0-6, which ended her season just missing out on the state meet.
