Hebron's Tess Weber and Michael Kimack.  Select the links below to view a results summary as well as the complete state brackets for each of the five events: Boys Singles,  Girls Singles, Boys Doubles, Girls Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.

     Ayana Akli of Wheaton downed three-time defending champ Miranda Deng of Wootton to win the Girls Singles title, 6-2, 6-0.  In Boys Doubles, Churchill's William Karpinski and Michael Chen dethroned Whitman's Jack Welch and Andrew Leung, 6-3, 6-3. Girls Doubles defending champions Carina Greenberg and Sarinah Wahl of Whitman fell in a close match to Abby Thornton and Veronica Cueller of Marriotts Ridge, 6-4, 7-6 (5).
