RC Invite - 7/12

The Rapid Invite went really well. We again, started off tentative, losing some first round matches because we were more worried about the score than having a great time. We were right in the mix, and could have taken 4th if our first round went a little better.

Buse and Naasz did have a great 1st round win over Wyoming State Champs.

Haylee Thomas improved the most of any girl out their this weekend. She really worked on her footwork, and because of this, ended up flying through the consolation bracket. She played great tennis and will hopefully grow more every day she plays, now that she is anticipating better. The sky will be the limit for her at 5 singles.

Here is a run-down of places:
Buse - 7th
Naasz - 4th
Rubin - 7th
Mutschelknaus - Consol Champ
Thomas - Consol Champ
Spanton - 6th

Buse/Naasz - 4th
Thomas/Rubin - 6th
Mutschelknaus/Makenzie Marso - 6th

Well, I was very impressed with the growth over the weekend. All of the girls learned what it was like to play Varsity and I think appreciated the hard work of conditioning they did the last few weeks.
