VIKINGS HEADED TO STATE IN 4 out of 5 Positions!
On Thursday May 3rd the PG Boys Tennis team headed to Riverton for the Region 4 Region Tournament. With the Vikings ending their season 7-3 they had secured two #1 positions (3rd singles Nick Olsen & 1st Doubles Quen Wilson & Jacob Eddington). Two # 4 positions (1st singles Hayden de Hoyos & 2nd doubles team Zach Olsen & Ryan Clifford), and one #3 spot (2nd singles Jake Harris) for the region tournament. Any position higher then third is a automatic ticket to State. So the Vikings had to win their first match on Thursday to get to State. It was a very, very windy day in Riverton which made playing conditions very tricky but the Vikings managed to pull out victories in all spots except for #2 doubles. Zach and Ryan played some tough tennis but lost a heartbreaker in the 3rd set to Lehi.

Day 2 - Friday May 4th. Then weather was better and their was not as much wind today. With the wins yesterday, today was all about trying to get a better seeding position for the State Tournament and the season ending Region position. The Vikings came out a little flat on Friday and unfortunately ended up dropping all 4 matches. With 4 losses today it might seem like we could be down and out, but the good news is, all four of those teams/players are still headed to State next week, where they all plan on getting revenge for how they played today!
