During a busy day of sports at Portland High School, the Varsity Girls Tennis team kept their focus on continuing their recent success. Hosting several teams who have qualified for and/or won state championships, Portland was determined to leave their mark as they battled and fought hard throughout a windy day of tennis. Bloomfield Academy of the Sacred Heart (ASH) eventually outplayed everyone, winning the tournament with seven of their flights winning flight championships. Portland placed 2nd behind ASH with three flight runners-up and one flight champ.

Medaling for Portland were 3 doubles runners-up, Mya Collins & Xanthe Cross, 1 doubles runners-up, Maura Lufkin & Corey Smith, and 1 singles runner-up, Kayla Weller. The long flight champion medal winner was 3 singles Adriana Krieger.

The team heads to East Lansing on Monday.
