Highlights of the meet

• First time since 2010 that Wellington has been regional champion.  We’ve had Collegiate in our regional every year since 2011 to 2020.  We have several runner-up finishes during those years.

• Top performers Jensen Lynnes & Lyric Cornejo finished 2nd overall.  They had a first round bye because they received the #2 seed.  Opening match they beat Lichlyter/Sullivan from Augusta 6-0,6-0.  In the semifinals they beat Glaves/Soto from Circle 6-2,6-0.  In the finals they lost to Dunne/Majors from Wichita Trinity 4-6,2-6.

• 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.  

• Wellington qualifies 5 of their girls and 3 entries for state.  In 2017 Wellington took 5 players to state.  

• This is Jensen Lynnes 2nd time qualifying for state in 3 years, everyone else Reichenberger, Cornejo, Gerten, and Aufdengarten 1st time qualifying.  

• 18th straight year that Wellington has qualified for the state tennis tournament.

• State Meet is at Winfield next Friday and Saturday.

• Reichenberger heads into state with a 14-11 singles record (18-12 overall)

• Lynnes/Cornejo head into state with a 21-6 together. (Lynnes is 26-9, Cornejo is 23-7)

• Gerten/Aufdengarten head into state with a 24-7 record together (Both are 25-9 overall)
