Over the weekend, the tennis season came to a close in the 3A at the State Championships that were held at Brighton High School and then concluded at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. As the fall season closes out summer, tennis was the first sport to close out the season and the Lady Dinos represented the “Blue and White” well.

Leah Sweeney, in second singles earned a first round victory in straight sets over Sophia Scott of Grand, 6-4 and 6-3, and punched her ticket to the next round, where she faced Macey Dee of Morgan. Sweeney lost the match in two sets 6-0 and 6-0, and Dee would continue on to earn a state championship in second singles.

In third singles, Mandy Riggs met up with Savannah Young of Delta and fell in their match 6-0, 6-0.
