Wenzel heads to state tennis

Lead Summary

Luverne High School senior Mia Wenzel won the Section 3A singles championship and qualified for the individual state tennis tournament in Minneapolis on Oct. 28 and 29. 
Wenzel was the lone LHS participant in the final two rounds of the section tournament on Oct. 19 in St. Peter.
In the semifinals she defeated Kassidy Girard of Morris in straight sets 7-5, 6-4. In the finals Wenzel faced Emily Brace from Montevideo and won again in straight sets 6-3, 6-1.
She will now move on to the state tournament and face Ana Medina from Rochester Lourdes in the first round. 
“Mia has played great tennis for us all year long,” said LHS tennis coach Jon Beers. “Mia set a goal of not losing to any Section opponents this year, and she accomplished that goal.” 
He said Wenzel’s efforts throughout her tennis career and her senior year have positioned her well for state playoffs.
“She has worked really hard the past three years on her tennis game, and it is great to see that it has paid off for her,” Beers said.
“I could not be more proud of her, and I am very excited to watch her compete in the state tournament.”
