Having all six seniors reach championship matches in doubles helped the Park Rapids girls tennis team repeat as champions in the season-opening Park Rapids Invitational last Saturday.
Brittany Kinkel and Katie Walsh won the title at No. 3 doubles while Bonnie Baumgartner and Allie Girtz reached the finals at No. 1 doubles and Lexi Burlingame and Taylor Wheeler reached the finals at No. 2 doubles. However, those two championship matches were rained out and couldn’t be completed, so Park Rapids shared first place at No. 1 doubles and No. 2 doubles.
Heidi Schaum won the title at No. 3 singles, Lydia Schaum took third at No. 2 singles, Julia Renner won the consolation title at No. 1 singles and Charity Ridlon won the consolation title at No. 4 singles as the Panthers compiled 29 points. Roseau finished second in this eight-team tournament with 23.50 points.
The Panthers compiled 25 points to defeat Roseau’s 22 for the title last season.
