Los Alamitos Seniors Hope Hairell and Karoline Pintar advanced to the CIF Individual Tennis Championships. Six Sectional competitions were held on Nov. 23 to determine the CIF Southern Section round of 32 Singles and Doubles competitors for the next level of playoffs.
Both Hairell and Pintar earned a place at the CIF Championships after winning the Sunset League Varsity Doubles. It was the first time the Los Al doubles pair had ever played together. This marks the fourth consecutive year that a different Los Al Doubles team has taken the Sunset League title. The doubles team came back after being down a set to first seeded Newport Harbor to win the best of three sets match and take the title. This win marks another winning season for the Griffin Girls’ Tennis team finishing the season with nine team wins to seven losses.
The Griffin girls also saw Juniors, Catt MacEachern take Bronze and Erika Cheng take fourth in Sunset League Girls Singles competition. In Junior Varsity, Taryn Chow finished in the medals with a fourth place finish.
