| The first meet
of the season went fairly well for the Decorah Viking girls
tennis team, all things considered. The Vikings headed
to Cedar Rapids on Saturday to take on last year's Class 2A
girls tennis champions, Cedar Rapids Kennedy, as well as
Waterloo West. The Vikings finished with 29 points,
just four points behind Kennedy, 14 points ahead of
Kennedy's reserve team and 20 points ahead of Waterloo West.
Karissa Shindelar and Angela Krieger both
won all three of their singles matches. The remaining
singles players--Laura Reutlinger, Jenny Dallenbach, Logan
Thompson and Erica Munkel--and the three doubles teams all
finished second.
Head coach Larry Berland said, "It was
a good first meet. We will have to improve if we want
to think about finishing high at the state meet. That
is why we have more meets between now and then." The
Vikings will face Cedar Rapids Kennedy again on Saturday at
Waterloo. |
