Track

In their final event of the season, the Wyverns took on the Class A Region 3 Track Meet at Green Co.  Jewel Bailey was the lone competitor for St. Francis, competing in both the discus and shot put.  Congratulations to the track and field athletes on their season!

Tennis

St. Francis was well represented in this year's state tennis tournament!    Eva Borders '18 continued her dominant run that began in last week's Regional tournament, which she won.  As a #5 seed in the state tournament, she swept through the first two rounds with 6-0; 6-0, advancing to her second consecutive Sweet 16.  She won that match this morning 6-1; 6-1 to advance to the Elite 8 against the #4 seed; that match is being held as we send this newsletter out!  She has also been named to the All-State Team.  Go, Eva!

Gray Thurstone '14 couldn't seem to get loose in the first set but stayed close and got up a break in the second set before his opponent stepped it up another notch as Gray went down 6-3; 6-3.  Jamie Anderson '15 played a tough opening-round opponent but pulled out the win 7-5, 4-6, 1-0 (13-11).  Jamie's second match was against the tournament's overall #4 seed.  He fought hard but eventually fell 6-3; 6-4.  Congratulations to Gray and Jamie on outstanding seasons.
