At Arlington High School, the top 6 OHHS players were all in action. In this tournament, if you lost in the first round, you were eliminated.
Jen Jansen faced off against Cascade's Jessica Willmorth and won the first set 6-3. Jen lost the 2nd set 5-7, and in the 3rd couldn't get things going and fell 1-6.
#2 Erin Neilon beat Snohomish's #2 7-5, 6-0.
The #1 doubles team of Molly Deleon and Cady O'Dell lost their first set 3-6 and were up 3-1 in the 2nd when the match was called on account of rain.
On Day 2, (Thursday) Erin faced off against a REALLY good (like almost pro level!) exchange student from Germany (Antonia Liebenow) and fell 6-0, 6-2.
Deleon and O'Dell could not pull off the win, and the #2 doubles team of Laurin Rico and Valerie Loder lost their first match and were eliminated.
In Erin's 2nd match of the day she was in the consolation round, facing Marina Messerli of Stanwood. Erin dominated the match, winning 6-2, 6-0.
Erin went back on Friday, still fighting for a spot in the district tournament. Her first match was against the Snohomish #1 Natalie Kaltbrunner. Erin says "It was a tough match, but I won 7-6(12), 2-6, 7-5."
Having won her first match of the day, Erin went to play Cascade's Jessica Wilmorth for a 3rd place spot, but Wilmorth was too much for her and Erin finished the tournament in the #4 spot.
She'll play next on Wednesday at Jackson High School at 1pm, facing off against the WESCO South #1 singles player Eliane Baik of Kamiak.
The top 3 from the District tournament move on to State.
